Company call goes south over VP's remarks after no one gets a raise: 'If [you] only want to work 40 hours a week [...] you should leave'

This company call certainly did not inspire confidence. Normally, company meetings have that annoying motivational nonsense going on, but this time, we've got a VP who decided it was a good time to tell all the 300+ employees who have not received raises that they should be working longer hours. In fact, he said that anyone who is not willing to work 50 hours should quit now. Not exactly the inspiring words people want to hear after they have been denied even basic cost of living raises.

There are proven ways to manage people and to inspire a team. One of those ways is having employees who are genuinely on board with the team leader's vision. Another way is to motivate them to work harder by paying them more. Promotions and raises are how you inspire loyalty and keep people around.
