This is the shit that always blows my mind, to be honest.

You want to maximize profits? Train your workers, put them through school, invest in your workforce.

All the companies that just hire bodies and forget the most important part that sets a human apart from the rest of the animal kingdom astonish me. You get more value per person if you work towards increasing each person’s value instead of increasing the value of persons.
