Hmm I wonder why. Could it be because we can’t fucking afford anything?! Could it be because wealth inequality has been at a high that we’ve never seen before? Could it be because our world is slowly dying and nobody seems to care? Could it be because literal Nazis are roaming the streets and nothing is being done about it?
No, it’s the infrequency of pizza parties and taco Tuesdays.
Let’s see… rent or ping-pong…
3 slices of pizza, or a wage increase which which I can afford many more pizzas?
I’m pretty sure that’s a real question
Y’all are getting pizza? We only get coffee and water in our break room. $1B company mind you.
Well u wouldnt want to cut into your bosses yacht money would you?
It’s assholes companies trying to force people in the office like cattle.
Not sure the feral nazi population has really changed from last year.
Idk… I mean sure, the price of literally everything is outpacing my stagnant income, and my benefits are increasingly shit… But there’s a banner outside the parking lot I’m not allowed to use (admins only!) that says “Heroes work here!”
Ya hear that?! I’m a fuckin hero, y’all!! I can’t not be motivated now!
Now if you’ll excuse me, I’m going to go shed a single tear while eating a meal of white rice. Again. With some soy sauce packets I stole from the cafeteria.
A FUCKING HERO!
Seriously. What is this propagandist bullshit? Fucking sorry excuse for “journalism”, Bloomberg. Blame the prols? Is that it? Push us to judge each other, to shame our fellow replaceables until what? We roll out the guillotine again? I’m here for it.
I’ll even paint mine up so it says “Heroes work here!” right up at the top, so everyone knows who’s pulling the ripcord. How about that?
What is this propagandist bullshit? Fucking sorry excuse for “journalism”, Bloomberg.
It’s literally named after a billionaire. What did you expect?
Ach. You’re so right. 😅🤦🏼♂️ How soon we (I) forget.
Why are you stealing soy sauce from the cafeteria? That’s not ok
Why in fuck would I want to go to work?
You mean you are not motivated to make rich people even richer? Shame.

Well colour me shocked. You mean nobody feels particularly motivated on a burning planet where we can’t afford anything? Jeez someone order a pizza.
Hypothetically speaking: if I could afford a pizza what toppings would you want on it?
Pepperone, onions and next month’s rent
I’d like vegan cheese, kind of a white mushroom pizza with lots of herbs
That sounds bomb, now I want pizza
I am vegan, we have this AMAZING vegan pizza place in town that does this pizza. Stunning!
Hawaiian style

Naw, terrorists put jalapeños on their Hawaiian pizza. This is just a normal pizza lover.
Mmmm spicy sweet salty delicious psychological warfare.
Jalapeno, bacon, & pineapple is literally the best pizza.
Yes.

Give me some spicy pepperoni, sliced sausage, basil, and maybe some fresh chopped garlic.
Forcing folk back into the office is pretty darn unpopular. If I was part of the group required to return to the office I would also be pretty damn unproductive and pissed as well.
I work a hybrid schedule and am always far less productive at the office than at home. Not even by choice, the environment is just less conducive to my being able to work comfortably.
Motivated employees get taken advantage of with more work with no pay raises. These workers have finally learned and reduced their production to be even with those around them.
P.S. If this is you, like it was me, learn entrepreneurship. The harder you work, the more success you have.
The world needs more than entrepreneurs though and those people deserve a living wage.
I agree with you.
Is it really “learn entrepreneurship,” or is it actually “have capital”
The key is to have enough to fail. That’s why you see successful house flippers or whatever who started out with money. They may have started 2 or 3 businesses before they found what worked.
If you start out with only enough money for one business or house, you will be struggling for a long time because you have to make it work to survive. You have no money to expand if it’s a good idea and no money to quit and start over.
The best thing to start with is luck. Second best is enough money, so you can try several times.
When I started, I setup hosting and created 100 websites selling other people’s products. It was like $50/mo to do it. There’s ways to start a business without capital.
These days I would do TikTok videos selling other peoples products. No hosting needed
The harder you work, the more success you have.
I mean if your definition of success is being rewarded with more work with no pay raise then sure, but that’s just not true anymore. People used to believe that and they got taken advantage of, and you even addressed this in the first part of your comment. The real lesson needs to come from the top down. If you want your employees to work harder, pay them more.
You missed a part of the comment you are replying to. tygr said “The harder you work, the more success you have.” in relation to the previous sentence about changing from wage slave to entrepreneur.
Okay, Tom Peters.
What’s great about this headline is how timeless it is.
Executives are constantly sucking up all the profits for themselves and putting more workload on everyone else. Americans are starting to wake up to the fact that corporate executives are robbing them blind.
Exactly this. I’m tired AF.
I’ve noticed this trend at several of my businesses. It’s impossible to find good help, I even offer all sorts of fun perks like themed thursdays where everybody has to dress up to match whatever theme I pick and whoever does it best gets a Starbucks gift card. Whenever it’s somebody’s birthday that person brings in pizza for everybody to share.
I think the pandemic and government hand outs have made people extra lazy, even more than they were before.
Have you considered pressuring your employees into donating to a charity of your choice with part of their paycheck? My job does that. It’s wonderful to add another charitable contribution to the list of things I spend my meager paycheck on, really helps me feel fulfilled. Maybe this is what your workplace is missing.
And, it’s like you’re crowdfunding your own corporate PR! Win-win for everyone!
That’s not a bad idea. Then once I’ve gotten the employees to donate a certain amount like $5,000 I can deliver it to the charity myself in the form of a big cardboard check, and do a photo op and put it in the company newsletter so everybody knows how good I am.
lmao
screams internally
Wtf, that sounds horrible, most of people want to be paid more for their work so they can live fulfilling lives, not have part of their paycheck taken away from them. Just pay your employees more, whether through capital or shares of the company. That’s what motivates people.

AH, united Jeans-day-for-donators strikes again.
Not sure if this is sarcasm but I’m pretty sure I’m only motivated by a good raise and not cheesy “company culture”. Especially since the price everything is up so much, a 25$ gift card which pays for maybe 1.94 cups of coffee is not going to make a difference

Good chuckle at the “Starbucks gift card”. I haven’t had a good manager that gave those out. Almost a perfect signal for bad management. “oh thanks… You paid Starbucks for me. How special”
The whole gift card market probably consists of: scammers ; bad management; lazy parents.
I like to pick my own shitty clothes and dinner, at least then it isn’t rubbed in my face.

I implore you to look into the benefits of paying people more for their work, not only does it improve the lives of your workers to be able to not just have a living wage, but a wage they can thrive on. Even the US department of Economy points to raising of wages as a benefit not just to the workers but also to the companies in increased productivity and satisfaction from workers.
Shitty gimmick accounts should remain on Reddit.
Waaaah people are putting content on a website waaaaaaaaah
I kind of agree
Leave it to the “BuisnessMan” to only understand what the business needs and not its people lmao.
“I make enough money to do the things that make me happy but when I offer fun dress up day instead for people they don’t wanna work for me”
People don’t want to work… for you
That’s a parody account making fun of conservatives.
How do you know? The line between parody and disguising as parody/a joke are veeeery thin
Businesses that are projecting growth, but are in cost saving mode, had layoffs, sub inflation raises, and hiring freezes aren’t exactly doing much to drive morale.
Plus requiring people to come back to the office to justify their real estate leases.
Why aren’t the peasants working themselves to death for scraps anymore!?!?
Why doesn’t anyone see how much the CEO needs his second yatch, and won’t you think of the poor investors? NoBoDy WaNtS tO wOrK
No fucking shit. Maybe if they were to bring back the lube when they fuck our asses we might be less bitter
Id be more motivated if i could see a doctor.
you should see an optometrist about that

The work cultures of yore… christmas bonuses, work functions, retirement plans, affordable housing, and employer loyalty is no more.
And they’re surprised?
