After 10 days, you would have paid me a total of...
$10,737,418.13
I hope my work was worth it because 10.7 million dollars is a lot of money to pay someone for one month's work!!

a dollar on day 8, day 10 you would have 5 dollars...
if it is a company that can think up such a way to pay their employee, i am sure you will sign a "free will" contract and they can fire you any time. I am sure you are talking about a for PROFIT company. And they dont pay more money than they think the person worth.
So no i will not take that job. I dont want to get paid for less than 5 dollars a day (or 1 cents the first day) and get fired one week later.

Probably no since if the employer was smart he'd fire me the day before the final payday and also have some provision in my contract stating I'd need to work the whole month to get paid anything.

That would depend upon several variables.
Such as:
What is the job?
Is there a guarantee?
Contract?
etc;
