Leaked Microsoft memo tells managers not to use budget cuts as an explainer for lack of pay rises: ‘Reinforce that every year offers unique opportunity for impact’::Managers are being ordered to dodge employees’ questions about how the latest budget cuts will impact their pay.
The “Win-Win” strategy is always the best strategy, long term.
Honestly, I agree that it’s the best strategy for all people involved but not one to retire with. I think our world is much too harsh to accept all people winning. So, while I‘m not willing to do the „fuck you I got mine“, I think that’s the way to make the home run.
I don’t know, I retired with that. /shrug
It’s only harsh because we don’t help each other with the win-wins. Honestly, just think of a world where we all cooperating with each other 24/7, how that would look.
When everyone is fighting everyone then only a few benefit from that, usually the ones already at the top.
I appreciate your thoughts, I really do. But so far we have made different experiences and neither of us can prove that their theory is (the only) viable. I can tell you that I would have retired, had I not given back as much as I did, you‘re saying you actually did. Neither of us knows how much or little the other one actually did, how viable their strategy was to begin with and so on. I don’t see this going very far on that basis.
For what it’s worth I’m not basing my opinions on your life experiences, but what I see everyone going through, and “The Human Condition”, and how people are.
I believe you’re being overly cynical, but I totally understand one’s personal perspective can set that level of cynicism, as they go through life.
