If being competitive is all about getting more for less, try figuring out how to make your biggest line item feel encouraged to do that rather than creating a culture where there is no perceived value in extra effort.Update images of buttercup wallpaper by website compilation. If you want to get the bare minimum out of every dollar you spend, then keep telling your people to suck it up.
Ultimately, your payroll dollars are a resource. Spend double to hire others to make up the lost fuckspotential, or spend extra to fix or remediate what was not maintained by those fucks not given - be it equipment, relationships, safety, facilities, processes - anything. These concerns are heavily weighted towards those likely to never be addressed by anyone else. If you want to get the most out of your payroll expense, the key is to do everything in your power to encourage your people to spend their fucks in service to your organization.Įvery bit of your people's fuckspediture given towards 'sucking it up' does not go towards something productive, and likely subtracts an additional set of fucks given towards some other concern.
