> Some people have self-respect and can't be "bought." Those are the kinds of employees you want and will be harder for these companies to get.

I'm not an employer, but assuming your stereotypical cutthroat capitalist character, why would they want employees who "have self respect" and "can't be bought"?

Even as a person who admires those qualities, I would probably prioritize a lot of other traits far above those 2, starting first with "can they do the job".



Turns out that "yes men" aren't good for your organization.
