Ironically if you really want employees to be motivated by more than money, you need to pay even more.
Only people who don't worry about money can afford to be motivated by other things.
Only people who don't worry about money can afford to be motivated by other things.
Which is exactly why it's important that they make sure most people can't afford this
Even if you provide other motivations that are substantial, it's going to cost money.
Want people with children to work there longer? Provide them with onsite or daycare somewhere. Daycare is a huge expense for a parent to take on just to continue working. If it's onsite, they can when things calm down a bit visit their children and have a moment together.
More vacation time and some leisure time during the day. More vacation would mean having a workforce robust enough to handle it. What this does as well though is help spread the everyday load without that consideration to prevent or mitigate burnout. As well if I can just take 15 minutes to go get water, use the restroom, talk a little bit without feeling like the boss is breathing down my neck...
Is there a word for memes that totally lack the context of their original images to the point of being opposite the intention of the creator?
Because I think the next scene is Ledger's Joker setting that pile of money on fire.
I could squint a little and make a case that this represents a CEO who is about to spend a shitload of company money on AI (or any anti-human venture) rather than employees.
There are people who will never know, the movie is 18 years old now
Yeah, but isn't it in the pantheon of Movies Everyone's Seen like The Wizard of Oz and The Matrix?
I've never seen wizard of Oz. And idk, there have been several Batman movies since then..
Huh. Do you particularly care about movies? I think I'm old enough that movie history (watching the classics) was a pretty common hobby... these days, I guess people are patient gaming and there's a lot more anime to catch up on, on top of all the scrolling.
I did watch a lot of movies. Tho not a junkie. I guess watching wizard of Oz is very much an US thingy, I only know it from cartoon series like Simpsons or so.
That's correct. The original story is about American monetary policy.
Cryptocity where the streets are paved with blockchains and the mayor is AI.
It also has some damn good music... somewhere over the rainbow and if I only had a brain are bangers, and Judy Garland was a touchstone for gay boomers...
Understanding references was part of the draw, too... if I keep seeing a reference to something, I want to watch it. The biggest problem is being unaware that something even is a reference. The Simpsons DVD commentary is eye-opening in that regard.
AI does that
the only thing that's changed is that today gas is not cheap
Yeah, the scene is literally Joker gathering the money to burn it in front of some gang boss to show him that he doesn't care about the money. I'm guessing OP wanted to say that the CEO is burning money needlessly?
In that interpretation; the boss just agrees with what his company's HR is putting out, so it would really be a non-meme...
No
But he burned it in the next part of the scene so this doesn't make sense. Should have gone with Huell Babineaux.
CEOs are burning money on AI, so it still works.
It's not about the money, it's about sending a message that will cost us at least five hundred tokens and probably come back with shit code that doesn't even compile.
And they'd probably have objectively more money if their employees got paid more, as the pie would grow. But they care more about having the biggest slice, even if that decrease the total amount, so it really is about sending a message for them.
It’s not about the money, it’s about sending a message… that shareholder value will always increase to perpetually borrow against tax free!
Never trust anyone who tells you he runs his company like a family. That just means he's run out of actual family members to exploit.
The last employer I had who called us all "family" also denied me any raise for at least a year or two because "we weren't making enough," meanwhile they were leasing a brand new Corvette.
Of course it’s not about money. Anyways, here is your obligatory annual free pizza party!
How else would they motivate me?
Because employment is not about me motivating myself.
They want to get my work, they have to provide motivation.
To put it differently: Work is a trade. The worker sells time and skill, the employer buys that with money. That is the very basic underlying concept of work.
If the employer doesn't want to do that deal, why should the worker?
It depends. Got respect for my previous employer who rejected a hefty deal with Big Tobacco company on the basis it being harmful to humanity
We're family... One of those families with shitty, narcissistic parents
The one that ends up with the kids killing their parents just to make it stop.
This is exactly my experience with companies that say they're a "family." They typically want you to work all hours and come in on your day off to "pitch in."
The ones that have mutual respect for employees and healthy boundaries don't usually describe themselves that way.
Sounds just like a previous CEO always talking about how "this will make us all filthy rich" while issuing layoffs and demanding nights/weekends. Should've left sooner.
Accurate depiction, given that the CEO is seconds away from lighting it all on fire
Lots of families are dysfunctional.
and then: You must act hungry to earn a raise
CEOs shouldn't exist
Didn't work for companies with ceos then.
That's not how coercion works.
I like your view! So there's no problem with you giving me 1/10 of your pay?
An abusive family, but a family nonetheless.
"Oh nice, I also hate capitalism. So are you like syndicalists or what?"
