- Rinzler89 2y agoHow? Profits are not always proportionally related to the number of employees. On-boarding more bodies results in bigger payrolls but not guarantees of more profits.
- squigz 2y agoI'm sorry, I don't really know how to respond to that question. How? You don't prioritize maximizing profits over your workers' livelihoods.
- Rinzler89 2y ago> You don't prioritize maximizing profits over your workers' livelihoods. Are you 5? Every company prioritizes profits over its employee livelihoods (even in Europe) otherwise no entrepreneur would ever bother working 60h/week and taking huge risks to start a company if their main focus would be charity for workers, and not profits for them and the investors.
