How dare you try to make money to pay your employees
- pmoriarty 4y agoTheir motivation to make money is to pay their employees?
- textninja 4y agos/to pay/and pay/ but the point stands doesn’t it?
- NoPicklez 4y agoIt's a fairly important motivator if you want a business
- wahnfrieden 4y agoBusinesses exist to minimize variable costs. Variable cost is not a motivator for owners and investors. It’s a cost.
- TheDong 4y agoYup. Having and paying employees is a good that deflects from all criticism of price. When I doubled prices in my coffee shop, at first people were unhappy, but as soon as I told them I threw out the coffee grinding machine and replaced it with 3 new jobs of "hand-grinders", people were overjoyed and immediately stopped criticizing the price increase. I was just making money to pay employees afterall. When I had to raise prices again because all the hand-coffee-grinder employees suffered severe medical injuries, everyone understood that too. ..... My point, obviously, is that hiring a bunch of employees to design ways to trick people into clicking more ads (sorry, ahem, improving user engagement) doesn't mean that the company making money is suddenly an obvious and unquestionable good that can be used as a shield from other criticism
