Maybe

now it's just frustrating

I can't take care of people by giving them nice feelings to have, and i can't get them to do anything, because i suppose they dont see how their skills might carry over

well taking care of people isn't the same as encouraging hard work

we're obviously thinking on different wavelengths

rightfully they shouldnt work hard where they actually are, but they shouldnt stagnate while theyre there

It seems to be that it's the people who value hard work for reasons other than money that will be the ones to work hard even when they aren't getting paid well and don't "love" or "enjoy" it.

Those people appreciate pure hard work and discipline because they know all the other benefits they bring.

I mean, money is an aspect no doubt but not the whole picture.

its the entire picture

well we disagree

lol

I don't think you should work hard just for the sake of hard work, that just some pointless

I'm not religious but to use religious imagery, God is the entire picture.

so take that

the problem is caused by lack of money, perhaps the scales being offbalance

ok well, money is god, in the particular situation

how about this--how do i get them to value the development of their skillset? i am not trying to fill them with virtue

a gun

how about that

throw em in chains

you want them to have the skills they need and theyre in a place where their practice only benefits someone else

make em forget their names

someone else will do that to them

only let them see the sun once a day

that'll do the trick

maybe my question lacks articulation

lets say i work a deadend job and i have a sideventure on weekends and i need some people. i work with 10 dummies and 2 smart people who are lazy at their job because why shouldnt they be. i need them to demonstrate some basic proficiencies and a desire to improve themselves so we can all make money together on weekends or i won't even think of them.

find out what they want and give it to them

money

hint: maybe not

you jus have to think better than that

like maybe it's a cool product that they'd feel proud contributing to

on top of the potential for money

Im just saying you're gonna have to have a lot of money if that's your only selling point

if it's a shit project then no one is going to want to do it

but you probably shouldn't be asking me anyway

they wont even know about it until someone sees them working
