Open Source vs. Wall Street Bonuses
tcd004 sends in a piece from PBS NewsHour on money and what actually motivates people. "What best motivates the workforce? More money? Fame? New studies reveal that beyond a certain threshold, large financial rewards can actually become a drag on performance in the workplace. Reporter Paul Solman compares million-dollar Wall Street bonuses to the rewards earned by the labor force behind the open source community."
I'm willing to offer myself as a test subject to verify this hypothesis.
I think that money can motive even a drugged-up hippie for 15 minutes.
Money's the way the man controls you. Open your mind to the cosmic crystal colors and realize we're not bound by pieces of paper or metal. We should work on the puzzle together; that way everyone wins.
"The idea of wall street is short term quick money! You only need to look at Easy Money with Eddie Murphy to understand that."
That's absolutely true, in fact Eddie Murphy movies make up 90% of the training required to work on Wall Street. Not a lot of people know this, but the economic crash was actually caused by following advice from Beverley Hills Cop 3.
That's because you never get linked to the bad, shallow and boring videos, obviously.
