If at the end of the week my employer owes me $2,000 USD worth of STEEM most of the immediate volatility risk is faced by them, not me—in the form of whether they can expect to employ me for another week.
Once paid, I can hodl or cash out according to my normal tolerances for risk that would apply regardless of currency. And also according to my need for liquidity. I don't yet know of a way to buy groceries with Steem :-)
If a thing has value at the moment, there's no reason not to accept it in the moment.

I suppose hopefully it won't bear the day after being paid lol!
