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.

Is there a word for memes that totally lack the context of their original images to the point of being opposite the intention of the creator?

Because I think the next scene is Ledger's Joker setting that pile of money on fire.

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.

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.

Didn't work for companies with ceos then.

That's not how coercion works.

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.

[–] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 5 points 2 hours ago

Accurate depiction, given that the CEO is seconds away from lighting it all on fire
