Panera founder says employees today aren't motivated by the idea of making money for shareholders: 'Nobody cares'

  • I can't believe such an obvious statement is making news. Therapists may belong in the c-suite, but perhaps the massive salary disparities are the problem. Perhaps.

  • Maybe CEOs should do some fundraising for their poor shareholders. The ice bucket one worked so why couldn't a day old baguette up the ass challenge work as well?

  • The overall article feels like a blog post in effort and quality of content.

    At least one founder and former CEO agrees that the idea of boosting shareholders' returns isn't likely to be a key motivator to workers these days.

    I love how the number is so low they only managed to find one fucking founder/former CEO that acknowledges it.

    (Panera's former CEO) Shaich said that he believed a key part of good management is connecting with and understanding employees and that he is a big proponent of therapy.

    Ah yes, I see that your minimum wage is affecting your mental health. Here, go to therapy. Not during work hours, obviously. And we ain't paying it.

    "I always say that therapists belong in the C-suite," Shaich wrote in his book, "Know What Matters: Lessons from a Lifetime of Transformations."

    My man, if your company needs a therapist and none of the jobs involve dealing with heavy stuff (crimes, abuse, jail, etc), then the company is a hellhole. If "therapists belongs in the C-suite", then your company must be the ultimate source of evil.
