Employee-compensation Memes

Oh, the SHOCK! The HORROR! A billionaire CEO just discovered that employees exchange their labor for... *gasp*... MONEY?! Not passion, not company culture, not pizza parties, but actual cold hard cash to pay rent and buy food! Revolutionary concept, truly groundbreaking stuff here. Anthropic's CEO is apparently "concerned" that young devs are motivated by financial compensation instead of being starry-eyed believers in the company mission. Sir, they're trying to survive capitalism, not join a cult. The sheer disconnect is absolutely chef's kiss. Maybe if the mission statement paid their student loans, we'd have a different conversation? Just a thought!
