Yea. This headline is rage bait trash.
Christ, you aren’t kidding. The article is clear that he is saying it’s too easy for higher ups to forget that employees don’t have an investment in the success of the company overall, and that they need to try to empathize with their employees more.
Except it dances around it and has this idiotic title. Fucking trash website.
The fun thing about articles like this is skimming the comments and seeing just how many people absolutely will not read articles under any circumstances.
I love the ones replying to people that did read the article asking for more details about the article. Those are my favorite.
Business insider is trash. Garbage reporting.
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?!
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.
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.
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.
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.
“So much of what running a business is about is figuring out ‘how do I connect with people?’” Shaich told BI. “What motivates them, and how do I help them decide to affiliate with what the mission of the enterprise is?”
Money! Seriously, I don’t want to connect with my CEO. Maybe a pizza party is just what I need
I have a pizza party literally every night.
Party of one.
I confess, the rage bait got me. What a garbage article.
The workers should unionize and really show him how much they care.
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.
Glad he gets it.
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.
