The workers should unionize and really show him how much they care.
Correct.
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.
Curiously, the interview fails to address making money for employees.
But they discuss therapy! Shit article.
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.
That would be an accurate statement.
You want to make me care about the company? Show that the company cares about me.
What a nonsense article. Shareholders have never motivated workers in any way, so this is like saying, “Water is wet.” Then they quote some Tiktok crap?
Companies catering to shareholder whims and the demand for perpetual share value growth are the reasons why many companies go to shit when eventually that growth comes from layoffs, worse work conditions etc.
Pay your workers fair wages, offer a good work/life balance and keep them happy to work for you and they will go above and beyond.
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?!
Oddly enough, I think most people aren’t motivated by the idea of making bucket loads of money for other people while they see barely a drop of it.
Maybe if you paid people better, they’d be better motivated to make you money.
As the saying goes, minimum wage = minimum effort
Also, the shareholders aren’t actually working for the money, not like the employees are. Give the employees shares, that might help.
Or do away with corporate investments all together.
Yeah, this is kind of the issue with walling the workers off from the success of their product and converting it all into poker chips for other people to play with. Imagine how different things could be if everyone’s pay grew with the success of the company.
Would gladly whore out my services to a competitor for more money/benefits/time/wfh. Fuck you.
Good to see that at least one ceo understands that concept.
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.
All these shareholders want is us to give up salary so that they can get more, so…
Wait, I thought this was an onion headline.
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?
