Instead of just iterating on a solid business another case of promising infinite growth, which in reality is just a different form of pump and dump. Fire the executives.
- kfk 3y agoSince I have been running my company 2.5 years now, a quick reminder: employees expect yearly salary increases, tech employees have very high salary growth expectations. You can explain to me how to make employees happy without "infinite growth", as you are there, please also help me understand how a company is to secure their sustainability without growth with expected positive inflation.
- brianwawok 3y agoOP can’t and obviously has never run a business.
- CraigJPerry 3y agoWould the prices you charge not also track inflation?
- nicce 3y agoI would argue that the salary is not following the infinite growth, not even close for employees. Sure, for startup there is a path ahead for increase, but I bet Google, Amazon, Meta or any big company are not increasing the salaries anymore as much as these companies are generating increased revenue over every year.
- carstenhag 3y agoEfficiency increases could lead to less person hours being necessary, thus allowing to do the same with less people, or the same amount of people working less per week.
- gumballindie 3y ago> You can explain to me how to make employees happy without "infinite growth" Autonomy so they dont get a do nothing manager that wants meetings to discuss upcoming meetings. Treat them like adults - also hire adults in the first place. Throw out well poisoners early on. Bullies, sexists, racists, over-competitive twats, ass kissers, boot lickers, etc if you somehow hired such types - throw them out too. Pay must be market rate but doesnt have to be 500k for an api plumber. Remote work so they buy a property they afford, settle down and raise a family. And so on.
- nathanaldensr 3y agoRight. These types of conversations should always trend toward addressing systemic problems with our culture and the infinite growth mentality. It can be stemmed but until our monetary system is no longer based on interest and debt, eventually we will all face a reckoning.
