Of course, correlation does not prove causality. It could be that working for a successful firm makes employees more contented, rather than the other way round.

Who knew?

I can't believe we're still fighting for pensions, healthcare, and a 40 hour week, and they're giving us pizza parties...

That's ridiculous.

alllibertynews Inspired Management is the most important asset to any business. Employees need to be organised or they will fail, throwing everyone involved out of work temporarily. Great managers are rare. The easiest thing you can do is turn up for a pay cheque.

How is this even a thought.
