Ironically if you really want employees to be motivated by more than money, you need to pay even more.
Only people who don't worry about money can afford to be motivated by other things.

Lots of families are dysfunctional.
CEOs shouldn't exist
Never trust anyone who tells you he runs his company like a family. That just means he's run out of actual family members to exploit.
It’s not about the money, it’s about sending a message… that shareholder value will always increase to perpetually borrow against tax free!
But he burned it in the next part of the scene so this doesn't make sense. Should have gone with Huell Babineaux.
CEOs are burning money on AI, so it still works.
It's not about the money, it's about sending a message that will cost us at least five hundred tokens and probably come back with shit code that doesn't even compile.
Sounds just like a previous CEO always talking about how "this will make us all filthy rich" while issuing layoffs and demanding nights/weekends. Should've left sooner.
and then: You must act hungry to earn a raise
Accurate depiction, given that the CEO is seconds away from lighting it all on fire
