Re: The modern business model doesn't give a shit about you.
I think that you are having trouble expressing this fundamental concept because it is more of a spiritual belief than anything rooted in actual cause and effect. So long as an action both fits within your moral code and is in the long term interests of a company it can be said that either motivation is in play. Are their… -
Re: The modern business model doesn't give a shit about you.
If you've read the rest of my posts you'd see there's more to it than that. Until a few decades ago, you'd have a really hard time convincing anyone that economics was at the root of all human behaviour and that money made anything acceptable. It has been in vogue, especially in recent years of hyper-capitalism, to see… -
Re: The modern business model doesn't give a shit about you.
rolfness -- i think that this is getting way more complex than it needs to be. Let me just try and make my origional point again. I am interested in getting into this whole business thing. I dont want to be an employee. I think it's a loser's game, and this thing that i'm sharing is just soemthign that illustrates that… -
Re: The modern business model doesn't give a shit about you.
wow, this is a great thread. I want to quote-respond everyone, but i won't. I'm with Rob, for the most part, but I think that everyone's values here are fairly similar. anyway. i figured out what pisses me off about this whole thing... and before i say this, i want to re-itterate that yes, i agree 100% with the fact that… -
Re: The modern business model doesn't give a shit about you.
Ruz: Yes, I agree with that too. The majority of people are happy being employed, and if that's what you want to do, the 'modern business model' should facilitate and promote that, as every successful employer has known. As you said, companies should have respect for workers, no matter their roles and decisions. I think… -
Re: The modern business model doesn't give a shit about you.
Absolutely I think that. Now about the 8 hours/day thing. It is not my fault if a company wants me to come in even on days I don't feel like working-- that is how they set their priorities, but I am used to working contract jobs where over and over I add value to projects and hit deadlines. If I didn't provide exceptional… -
Re: The modern business model doesn't give a shit about you.
Because some of us are lucky to have a job we enjoy that also pays the bills. I could start a business, but the business could easily fail...or simply never turn a huge profit. And that's just the way the world works...parts of it. There are many people in the world seeking their place in it, and everyone wants a job. It… -
The modern business model doesn't give a shit about you.
hey folks! I've been looking into the encorporating side of things lately, and I found something out that i thought would be *neet* to share... it's something that most of us probably know on an intuitive level, but might not know from a business perspective. the intent of a corporate business venture is to provide lots… -
Re: The modern business model doesn't give a shit about you.
O so what you're proposing is that all employees own an equal share in equity of the firm. How do you start something like this up? Say its a game company and you need 20 people. So you require 20 peoples worth of equipment and software licenses, you need offices, office equipment, these are the fixed costs. Then theres… -
Re: The modern business model doesn't give a shit about you.
Again, i disagree fundamentally. I actually agree with the general gist of what you're saying -- showing respect to your employees and realizing they aren't just numbers is vital. Being hones with an employee is vital. But honestly, a large percentage of your work for is not, honestly, worth keeping around if you have…
