I believe in this!
I really believe in this and have felt this way long before I read this quote… here it is:
“I don’t know how many times [Pixar's] Ed Catmull has said, ‘It’s about the people.’ It is. If you make good people feel good, they’re going to keep doing good stuff for you. Because you work your ass off. You don’t sleep, you don’t think about anything else.”
“There are times when you just don’t come home, and you have to tell your girlfriend, ‘I just have to be an asshole for a while, I’m sorry,’ and to know your company appreciates that is great. It keeps you accountable.”

A lot of companies I work for have not been based on this model; because of that, I have not stayed at these companies for more than 2 years. Looks like if anyone from my current job reads this will know they are fuked and I’m heading out. LOL, to all you asstards, read the dam quote and respect your people, or they will take the good …. and all the quality with them… LOL
