Welcome

We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!

The Rules

Posts must be:

Links to news stories from...
...credible sources, with...
...their original headlines, that...
...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

And that’s basically it!

So you hire more staff, and tell the new employees that they can ask you to call in a favor here and there from the retired folks that you made into millionaires.

I think the retired folks actually made them a millionaire.

Don't call me if I retire.

Haha. Fair point.

I agree there's absolutely no obligation there.

After an unplanned $1,000,000.00+ bonus, I personally, will occasionally accept a phone-a-friend call.

Expecting quid-pro-quo is not the reason to pay out the bonus, of course.

But the world will be better when more people understand that generous leaders finish with more friends than tightwads do, and are proportionally more successful.

I say proportionally because most folks who didn't have the foresight to be born into an emerald mining fortune still aren't gonna start a flamethrower company for funsies, of course.
