They're all now overwhelmed by like sloppy hours.
And we've had a few people on our team that are joined and their previous company was like this, like they were the person that still cared.
The rest of the organization just like hits the button and gets their tasks done.
And they're drowning in just garbage and they're getting burnt out and they're leaving.
So motivation and team and people and humans and like emotions, all that stuff is still there.
a big factor in all of this.
I mean, obviously for us, you're right, it's easier for us.
We are in a very exciting space.
The people that join our company are very competitive.
They want to get in there and they want to win.
So that's like a big driver.
everyone has equity that if we do our jobs right like it'll be pretty meaningful for them uh at some point i i even pre-ai i feel like uh again i can only speak for startups as like that's where my experience is i'd always see startups post jobs where they're like we're hiring two engineers and they post two salaries and these are like okay salaries i always thought like why just hire one person and combine the salary you'll get someone that'll like meaningfully change the direction of your whole life like people will start showing up at that at that level um
So we've always been willing to pay quite a lot.
We don't need to hire a thousand people.
We need to hire like 20 good people.
So generally, I think good salaries still go a long way.
But yeah, at bigger scales, like I think it's just hard.
Like when your company hits a certain size, like
There is just no good reason for someone to do much more than what their job strictly asks them for.
So I don't have any good ideas here.
