The xbox was the son's idea, and the director brought that idea to a meeting. Something else interesting the kid said was it wasn't about the money (we paid well compared to other industries), it was about time. He didn't want to spend 8hrs, or 1/2 his day working. He wanted to work 4-6 hours and still have time for himself. I get it, I really do. I hate working all day myself and unless people really enjoy their careers, I'm sure they're not fond of it either.
Cold hard cash is not the motivator it once was.
If anything this illustrates just how predatory the lending process is with regard to young people. The actually believe it's not about the money. It's always about the money. People who tell you otherwise just want it all for themselves.
I am sure, however, that corporate America will be elated to hear young people vocalizing their desire not to make money. They'll most assuredly use it as justification to stop paying everyone else that still understands that it's about nothing but the money.
