A place to discuss positive changes that can make work more equitable, and to vent about current practices. We are NOT against work; we just want the fruits of our labor to be recognized better.

The funny thing is... what are the operational requirements of an R&D organization?

As far as I can see, it's nothing, by definition.

Anyway, does the rich person there not understand that? Also, what is the value of an R&D organization where people are demotivated?

The rich person only cares about short term profits. They want to liquidate any good will and long term preparedness. Once the host corporation has been sufficiently bled of value, the parasite will move on to the next source of value it can find.
