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
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.
We’re family… One of those families with shitty, narcissistic parents
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.
Nobody is motivated by money.
The poor are motivated to be able to afford food they need money for this they are motivated by the need to eat money is simply a means to an ends.
The middle class are motivated by comfort and ironically will work very hard to achieve this. Once again money is the means to this ends.
The rich are motivated by power and influence and will do anything to achieve this. Again money is the means not the ends.
To not be motivated by money one must become the Buddha. To not want money one must want for nothing that money can purchase but by its very definition it can purchase anything. So one must want for nothing and thus have achieved nirvana. I doubt someone who has achieved nirvana would find themselves working a dead end job.
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.
AI does that
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.
At least he had a proper understanding of the value of a dollar.
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.

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.
It’s not about the money, it’s about sending a message… that shareholder value will always increase to perpetually borrow against tax free!
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.
Lots of families are dysfunctional.
Accurate depiction, given that the CEO is seconds away from lighting it all on fire
Reply: So you’d do this your for minimum wage then?
and then: You must act hungry to earn a raise
