Paying people more is a recurring cost, and the ultimate goal of a company is to keep increasing profits. If they can spend $10k once to scare their employees into being more productive, it has a better return on investment.
Disgusting and true. I wonder what percent of companies threw pizza parties.. ๐
It's been proven time and time again that treating your employees correctly and paying them what they're worth is far more productive. It's just sociopathy.
Yeah, but that's thinking long-term. CEOs of publicly traded companies don't give a shit about anything other than making the line go up during their own employment at the company.
Cutting 10% of the workforce is profit right in the pocket of the shareholders, as long as the company can somewhat continue to go on.
They don't give a fuck about productivity, but they will dangle that over your head for whatever reason they deem advantageous.
You want a raise? Bummer, productivity is lower than expected, so we have no budget for that.
