I ask that Mr. Bird, Lucius, and Rajesh2212 give me feedback on this plan: this is not set in stone yet.
In light of the outcomes stemming from the previously implemented $50/hour wage cap 💸, it has become evident that the policy, while rooted in cost-efficiency and structural equality, led to a series of unintended consequences that negatively impacted operational effectiveness, employee morale, and talent retention. These consequences included a measurable decline in productivity 📉, noticeable reductions in workplace satisfaction 😔, and the departure of several high-performing individuals who sought more competitive compensation packages elsewhere 🚪. To address these issues while remaining aligned with the core principle of compensation balance across departments, I propose a revised maximum wage cap of $57/hour 🎯. This adjusted cap reflects a carefully considered compromise—it offers meaningful wage growth compared to the prior cap, thereby improving employee motivation and competitive standing, while still preserving budget discipline 💼 and protecting against unsustainable payroll expansion. Furthermore, in recognition of performance and dedication, bonuses will remain permitted, but only after an individual has maintained a minimum of 20 active workdays within the system ⏳. This clause ensures that additional compensation is both earned and aligned with long-term engagement, rather than short-term participation.
In addition, to maintain integrity and unity within this new compensation structure, I require that every individual currently ranked within the top 30 performers formally confirm their agreement to this policy in writing 📩. This confirmation may be delivered via direct message or approved communication channel. Failure to submit acknowledgment will be interpreted as non-consent to the policy, and as such, will result in exclusion from any present or future partnerships, collaborations, or business engagements affiliated with my operations 🚫🤝. This measure is not punitive but necessary to ensure full alignment and trust among those operating at the highest levels of our organization. With this new cap, our team remains agile 💪, reward-driven 🎁, and committed to sustainable success 🏆. Your timely cooperation and transparency in this matter are appreciated as we move forward strategically and with shared accountability.
