My commute is roughly 2 hours and I have a young child at home and am much more productive coding when we aren't all together. I seriously think they think I work 10 hours a week when in fact I work 100. I'm happy to attend however many meetings they want to have. Ironically, I've been the one to suggest 2/3 of the weekly meetings we do have. How can I convince them short of sitting right next to them in the office from 9-5 every day that I'm actually delivering a lot of value to the company?
Salient details: We don't have much funding, less than 100K, and I'm a very experienced engineer, so its highly unlikely I can be replaced in a reasonable amount of time. We have had listings for $40K salary/2-3% equity for both developers and designers on many sites for months with no takers. Before I arrived, another developer cost them ~$50K and took 4 months to build a website which was unusable according to their standards and generated no sales. I built our website in 2 months and this has lead to $40K in sales and the expectation to hit 6 figures imminently.
