RE: Let Me Tell You About Greed

in #greed7 years ago

I like that you've given a whole new perspective for me to see on greed. I agree with everything you say but still believe that money is the main incentive in corporate greed. Like you said Coca Cola may want to sell more bottles than their competitors, but I think it's to make more money - maybe because they just like money, or maybe because we measure success by how much money you have and they want to be seen as the most successful. Some companies may have different incentives than others too. I'm sure some only are in it for the money and some are more passionate for what they are doing and don't care about the money. You make some great points. I like seeing things from another perspective. Keep up the great work. Upvoted and following.

Thank you justice4 for the reading and responding. Yes, I agree that there are those who are only interested in the money, but they are generally to be found at the investment level (shareholders, in particular). At the top and middle management levels, the mission is the goal, otherwise the company fails and they lose their livelihoods. There are all kinds of personal self-interests, I guess! :) Thank for the encouragement - I just got on today and probably screwed up formatting my first post. I'll be following you, as well!
