It genuinely blows my goddamn mind that this article is actually considered news and has to even be published.

Like, what the fuck do they teach people in business school these days?? Just cut costs endlessly? Like “I have this restaurant with no employees that serves nothing and charges $1B per customer. I will be rich!” ??

I work in corporate retail, and yes, basically. It’s pretty wild how myopic senior leadership can be at times.

Came here to post just this. How fucking stupid are the people in charge of these places? That offering higher wages gets you more/better employees is such a revolutionary concept that not only has nobody else tried it, but when one does and realizes it works, it becomes a Business Insider article?

You don’t have to be an MBA to understand supply and demand. If there is less supply of workers and more demand for workers the market price of work will rise. Did they think the labor market was a slave trade?

I really genuinely do not understand how so many supposedly smart successful business people can be so stupid as to not understand such a simple concept.
