“No employee ever wakes up and says, ‘I’m so excited. I made another penny a share today for Panera’s shareholders,’” Shaich told Business Insider in an interview. “Nobody cares. You don’t care whether your CEO comes or goes.”
In case people read the title and not the article.
Now the question is: did he say that understanding that that is the truth, or did he say that because he was lamenting employees dont care?
Yea. This headline is rage bait trash.
Christ, you aren’t kidding. The article is clear that he is saying it’s too easy for higher ups to forget that employees don’t have an investment in the success of the company overall, and that they need to try to empathize with their employees more.
Except it dances around it and has this idiotic title. Fucking trash website.
The fun thing about articles like this is skimming the comments and seeing just how many people absolutely will not read articles under any circumstances.
Wild idea… pay your employees in shares if you want them to act like shareholders…
Yeah - we don’t care about making money for rich people when we can’t afford to both eat and pay our bills. Hell, we’re starting to not be able to do even one of those things. Pay us enough for us to live comfortably and we’ll start caring about your next fucking yacht.
Oddly enough, I think most people aren’t motivated by the idea of making bucket loads of money for other people while they see barely a drop of it.
Maybe if you paid people better, they’d be better motivated to make you money.
As the saying goes, minimum wage = minimum effort
Also, the shareholders aren’t actually working for the money, not like the employees are. Give the employees shares, that might help.
