Not even the CEO cares about making money for shareholders.

This is your first statement, which we are still discussing.

You can just say "I don't know what I'm talking about lol" and move on, man.

Lol, you're cherry picking a sentence and then addressing it totally out of context. I think you might be insane, but here's one last try: Why does the CEO go to work? Why do you go to work? Why do you do the tasks that are required of you in your job? Why does anyone? MONEY! Would you go to work if they didn't pay you? Would the CEO? How about for pizza parties and pats on the back? Fuck NO! Why is that such a difficult fucking concept? Like I said before, this shouldn't even be a discussion. The propaganda is so powerful, it has created corporate bootlickers, like I'm worried you are, whose brains glitch out when you try to claim CEOs work for money.

Why does the CEO go to work?

To raise money from shareholders while executing on large-scale vision for growth and development.

Why do you go to work?

I build training departments.

How about for pizza parties and pats on the back?

It's telling that you think this is a real thing people take seriously.

Why does anyone? MONEY!

I genuinely feel bad for you. People with real careers are actually passionate about what they do. I can make money doing all kinds of shit. I work at my job because I enjoy it, and because I help people climb out of bad situations, not because it pays me the most money. If I wanted the maximum money, I'd still be in sales

That's literally what this whole thread is about: Companies trying to constantly motivate with things other than money - but only for the lowly workers. You keep trying to shift the argument to corporate duties, or talking about WHAT you do instead of WHY you do it. You're being childishly frustrating on purpose.

I'm glad you're motivated by your job, and by pizza parties, and pats on the back. Good for you. Be sure to tell HR tomorrow they can give your pay to the CEO instead. You're so self-fulfilled and all.

That’s literally what this whole thread is about:

Where?

And also I work from home and we don't have pizza parties at all. In fact, a significant part of my job has always been cultural development for various companies.

You don't seem to understand the "pizza party" thing is just some shit you made up

Be sure to tell HR tomorrow

At my current company, I am already in the HR department. My boss is already aware that I took a $4,000/year pay cut for my current opportunity.

Sorry your job sucks but perhaps you'll have a better one after college. Market is really good for employees, so hunt around. Hit me up for interview tips.
