  This is a joke right?

  This clip has to be one of the funniest ironic clips ever! Honestly, i think my company may have taken it seriously, though......

  RE: Signs of a demotivated workforce

  Are you kidding me? Although I see your bottom line biz case, the thought of encouraging this type of behavior is mortifying. This goes against the grain of modern thinking. I thought this was a comedy skit... but I guess not. What ever happened to wanting your employees to grow and flourish and feel good about themselves.
  
  This is a big fat return to the dark ages.
  
  Shame on you. This is the type of behavior that makes next level growth strategies all but ******* impossible.

  RE: Signs of a demotivated workforce

  Firstly an employee would already have a default level of self esteem and little can be done to change that by demotivating actions. Genereally a demotivated employee would look towards other job oppurtunities.
  
  This theory would in practice be a complete failure because the first employees to leave after the demotivating action would be the better ones. Ones that have skills good enough to get a job anywhere. Those are the employees that in general pull the organization towards continued growth. As a consequence of this turnover the organization would be left with the least productive employees who will not be able to generate enough revenue to pay them.
  To cover for this the organization would then have to hire expensive resources from the market at premiums thus in effect shrinking profits through the whole mechanism
  
  You really are kidding right?

  To think I have spent 9 years as an HR Manager trying to resolve demotivation issues and wasted my time and money on a Masters Degree when all I needed to do was watch this informative video from Despair Inc. The guy deserves a medal;)

  The most refreshing piece of management advice - it really gets to the heart of the matter. Stop wasting time on your least valued resource.

  I've been practicing his methods for 20 years and have found them to work very well. No one every leaves our organization, we save thousands of dollars in recruitment costs, and the execs feel good about being asked permission to do everything and getting kudos from their underlings.
