    Paying people more is a recurring cost, and the ultimate goal of a company is to keep increasing profits. If they can spend $10k once to scare their employees into being more productive, it has a better return on investment.

      It’s been proven time and time again that treating your employees correctly and paying them what they’re worth is far more productive. It’s just sociopathy.

        Yeah, but that’s thinking long-term. CEOs of publicly traded companies don’t give a shit about anything other than making the line go up during their own employment at the company.
