Wild idea… pay your employees in shares if you want them to act like shareholders…
What, and let the workers own the means of production?!
I can’t believe such an obvious statement is making news. Therapists may belong in the c-suite, but perhaps the massive salary disparities are the problem. Perhaps.
Maybe CEOs should do some fundraising for their poor shareholders. The ice bucket one worked so why couldn’t a day old baguette up the ass challenge work as well?
That would be an accurate statement.
You want to make me care about the company? Show that the company cares about me.
Why the fuck do I care about shareholders when I’m typing to survive. My primary effort is for me not some rich fool. Hell all my work is just to benefit someone else much better off.
When is it for me and my future? I’m never paying for Panera again.
Maybe read the article first
What world do they live in where they expect people to be motivated to make money for someone else with no benefit to themselves?
We can’t even motivate people to be charitable towards those who actually need it.America.
For people like this, money isn’t a resource that they need to survive, it’s just a way of keeping score.
It’s like playing an idle game - you tweak the various settings and resources to get the most gain, and your reward is watching the numbers go up.
They’re no more connected to the numbers themselves than someone sitting at their computer playing Realm Grinder.
Good to see that at least one ceo understands that concept.
Correct.
The workers should unionize and really show him how much they care.
All these shareholders want is us to give up salary so that they can get more, so…
Hmm… Have you tried motivating them with that stuff that motivates the shareholders? I think it’s called… Money?
“Sorry, we’ve reserved all that stuff for our shareholders and executives. The best we can do is a pizza party. You want more? Fine. We’ll generously toss in some store bought cupcakes. Now get back to work! Our executives and shareholders want more money!”
Nah, this is a restaurant, they’d prob just give them day old sandwiches.
Man, they’re already getting the legally required minimum wage for their territory.
What more can they offer?
Not the onion material here lmao
How out of touch is this asshole?
The overall article feels like a blog post in effort and quality of content.
At least one founder and former CEO agrees that the idea of boosting shareholders’ returns isn’t likely to be a key motivator to workers these days.
I love how the number is so low they only managed to find one fucking founder/former CEO that acknowledges it.
(Panera’s former CEO) Shaich said that he believed a key part of good management is connecting with and understanding employees and that he is a big proponent of therapy.
Ah yes, I see that your minimum wage is affecting your mental health. Here, go to therapy. Not during work hours, obviously. And we ain’t paying it.
“I always say that therapists belong in the C-suite,” Shaich wrote in his book, “Know What Matters: Lessons from a Lifetime of Transformations.”
My man, if your company needs a therapist and none of the jobs involve dealing with heavy stuff (crimes, abuse, jail, etc), then the company is a hellhole. If “therapists belongs in the C-suite”, then your company must be the ultimate source of evil.
Yeah - we don’t care about making money for rich people when we can’t afford to both eat and pay our bills. Hell, we’re starting to not be able to do even one of those things. Pay us enough for us to live comfortably and we’ll start caring about your next fucking yacht.
