Let me tell you something, McDonalds could afford to pay their employees a minimum wage of $15/hour here in North America. Hell they could even raise it to $60/hour and still make profit. But they will not.
I'm in my 3rd year financial accounting and if it's taught me anything about companies, is that it's all about maximizing the profit.
Excellent point about McDonald's intentionally maintaining unfairly low salaries in an almost psychotic drive to maximize profits.
When you think about the McDonald's corporation... and take a deep look into the core structure of their business model and the rather heartless pattern of callousness in their corporate ethics... it makes you seriously contemplate WHY they only sporadically serves up the delectable McRib sandwich.
I mean, seriously... the McRib is by far the very best of the varied almost-meat products on the market today.
It is... quite literally... "
mostly-meat" perfected.
Or as the men of Grepolis would say: "
ex parte perfectum vescendu carnes".
Would it kill the McDonald's Corporation to keep it on the menu all the time?
The answer is no. No, it wouldn't.
So why don't they?
I don't know. I'm guessing it has something to do with marketing or the
EPA or something like that.
But the point is... companies are in it for the money. The more the better. And that's All-American Capitalism at its best.
Its Human nature to strive and succeed and dominate. Like old school Grepolis. Evolution exemplified.
Innogames... Grepolis... is essentially no different than any other healthy working company.
After all, without profits, how would Hendrik Klindworth, the CEO of Innogames, pay for his McRib sandwiches?
The answer is he wouldn't. And that would be sad.
Mr. Klindworth is an upstanding citizen and hardworking gentleman... and he deserves to occasionally feast upon a succulent McRib sandwich just like the rest of us.
Shame on all of us... for faulting him for his natural McRib cravings.
