CEO goes viral telling employees to stop asking how to stay motivated without bonuses: 'Leave pity city'
"Questions came through about 'How can we stay motivated if we're not going to get a bonus?'" Owen said in the video."Some of them were nice and some of them were not so nice, so I'm going to address this head on.""It's not good to be in the situation we're in today, but we're not going to be here forever. It is going to get better so lead, lead by example, treat people well, talk to them, be kind, and get after it," Owen said.
Owen continued:"I had an old boss who said to me one time: 'You can visit pity city, but you can't live there.' So people: leave pity city, let's get it done." "Andi fiercely believes in this team and all we can accomplish together, and will not be dissuaded by a 90-second clip taken out of context and posted on social media," the MillerKnoll spokesperson said. Owen's remarks were part of a"rallying cry" for staff in a town-hall style meeting that lasted more than an hour, the spokesperson added.
