Since I can always count on Massassi to be critical (for better and worse), I want your opinions (though linked facts are better!) on the following video:

Do you find it enlightening? Old hat? Onto something? Just sooth-saying drivel? Please ramble!

Old hat because I've seen it already. :D

It is pretty intriguing though, and I hope more companies adopt the idea.

I really enjoyed that. I put in my letter of resignation to my company last week (I got a new job yay) and when I leave next week I'm going to leave this video in the managers inbox.

That's really interesting, and, I think, incredibly valid. Getting enough money to be comfortable is important, of course, but once you *are* in the position where money's not a big issue, being in an environment where you're engaged in what you do is the big deal.

I'm new at my job, and I'm still in the learning process, but I love how my boss gives me a project, gives an overview, and leaves me to it if I want to figure it out by myself, but makes herself completely available if I have questions. Now, that's not exactly the same as what he's saying, but it's the closest I can provide an example of.

Back in college, I poured my heart, soul, and more time than someone with such a busy schedule should into my a cappella group (and I'm talking outside actual rehearsal time) for many of the same reasons.

If you're living a lifestyle you're comfortable with, money is only enough of a motivator to do the minimum - what you have to do. It's not a motivator to much much of yourself into it.
