You don’t need a “company culture” if you have respect for your coworkers. I actively dislike 50% of my coworkers but i treat them with respect. I don’t want to go to the icecream party or get a drink … i want to do my job to the best of my ability, collect a paycheck…shut up and go home. Thats it, to hell with your cornhole tournament. Every second that I’m playing games at work I’m not at home doing what i want.
Employees think it's a joke too, hence the rise of remote work. Very few people want to commute everyday to play Foosball and drink a free coffee.
I get more work done from home, and I don't miss the monthly pizza party. I'll order my own damn pizza with the money I save from gas.
Those who have drank the Kool aid like it lol
You are not that productive at home tho. Go to work. Vacations over
If your job can be done in a cube, you aren't that productive anyways. That being said you can also do it at home in 100% capacity.
Dave won't let you work remotely even a single day & fire you immediately for pre marrital s*x.
I worked at a call center where they had a different theme every day for the operators. All of us who were older said- we're here to work not get free cereal or play foosball.
yeah, why did you quit then? because you're just a cog in a machine
From a small business owner, this is the best Ramsey podcast. Totally agree Dave
Im a recruiter and had an awesome lady interview for a security analyst job. Feedback was out of all the candidates, she was the best culture fit. But they went with someone who was a better technical fit. It doesn't work all the time but good people like that will eventually find something they love.
I left my last job because of the bad culture of laziness, lack of accountability, complete disregard from management.
And yes, I'm in a better place now both physically and mentally. Much like debt you don't realize how much it affects you until it's gone.
I agree with Mr. Ramsey, the most important information in my opinion is what he mentioned at the end. Owners and leaders must create the desired culture, otherwise it will create itself.
My "Company Culture" now only exists within my home office. So much nicer!
What does that consist of? Netflix, walking the dog 10 times and running personal errands while your laptop is "ON" on company time?
@@MrJimmy3459 Absolutely none of the above, you are simply "projecting" your own life, similar to what the Orange Baboon has done for fifty years. I work for the US Government, I am typing this on my fifteen-minute break and ShadowFox, my dog, comes to me at EXACTLY 5:02 PM every day for her walk. Get a Life.
@@MrJimmy3459 Uh. Yeah.
@@MrJimmy3459It consists of being focused on work and not having to deal with bitter little shites like you.
I personally do not believe in "Motivation". My favorite culture is, I work and perform at a high level, and the company pays me and leaves me alone. That is what I prefer.
We should be able to work where it's most productive for us, whether at home or in office. We don't care about company cultures. “How Many People on Their Deathbed Wish They’d Spent More Time at the Office?” - Stephen R. Covey
Amen, Brother!
There is a major lack of accountability in todays workplace.
Many small companies require or benefit most from someone with specialized skills or a particular area of talent - that's not the same as hiring from a broader pool like office management. Also (on the other hand) many jobs are decent if they are just a limited part-time thing. When I was young I did pizza delivery and it was great until the new owner was fanatical about wanting people who seemed to think Dominoes was their future. Easy enough for me to just go get a different gig.
I'm not a big Ramsey fan, but he is spot on here. A culture should work in tandem with its objectives and performance metrics, but it shouldn't be mandated and eclipse everything as the end all be all. The issue with companies these days is the propensity for following each other's blueprint because they want to project this vibe that they're totally "with it", just like the other guys on the block. Also, forced corporate culture initiatives and "fun" is cringe worthy to say the least. It's disingenuous and toxic.
These additions to company culture really tell you the type of people these companies hire... they really choosing the people who are so full of self they willing give you their opinions out side of work related topics... or focusing on the company's goals and just doing their jobs... and to the best of their ability... many hired are those that push back on the heads movement towards profit... they buck... and can be fired... the do your job type of person is not truly hired anymore... LOL
As a small business owner, I agree with this. When I hire someone, I am much more concerned with their integrity, willingness to learn, ability to holistically manage their lives and being a compassionate team player than what skills or experience they have. I can teach people a lot of things but I cannot teach honesty, integrity and gumption. I have learned over and over again that the person with exceptional skills but is constantly stirring the drama pot is more of a headache than they’re worth. We’re a small team, there is no foosball or cornhole but there is genuine concern for what’s going on in their lives, birthday gifts, encouragement and aid for self development and sincere gratitude expression.
very few of those things are used that much just like when you get apartment with gym and swimming pool but it is a selling point
Real values are bottom-up, not top-down. I don't buy into some list of 'company values' at all. Behaviours and results from the individuals that work there together, yes.
My company gives us a key chain and tee shirt now and then.
I have said this for quite some time! Absolute joke.
I've worked in so many places where they feel a little gift if enough to tell you they appreciate the extra work and crap you put up with daily. Communication is so bad now. Do they not teach that any more? Employees should feel heard and kept in loops that they are part of
yeah and we dont want it either just a respectable raise or more pto.
Welcome to the Army
Company culture matters to me but not in the sense of buying games and such. To me company culture matters in terms of interpersonal interactions. For instance, a manager who communicates well and lets me do my job or kind coworkers etc: That culture is bit to me but not he games and such. And every here and there we’d go out for a few drinks after the workday was done to interact but that again stems from the interpersonal culture.
Tend to agree with this take. However, like many of the talking points, the funhouse style company culture they are referring to is nothing new what so ever. It really took off in the early / mid 2000's when big tech companies were starving to attract developers and engineers and turned their offices into the ultimate dorm room so that employees would essentially never need to leave the campus. Pretty bitchen for the time, who does not want to be 20, bringing down north of 120k and working in an office with all the food and video games? The thing is many of them grew up and started to see through it and now that they are nearing 40, they would rather work remote from their homes.
This all took place within the past 20 years, so I would say this qualifies as a "recent event". I started working "adult jobs" in the early 90's and it was NOT this way at all within any company.
Games and forced social gatherings are the new "hit your goals and we'll have a pizza party!"
True. This model kinda looks dated now, especially post Covid. In fact, a lot of the tech companies that pioneered it are cutting back on the perks even as their staff mostly come to the office a few days a week now.
@@madbbqer4343I don't know what's worse work at a company that had game day every Friday, or work for a soulless. Company that after working there for over 30 they still don't know who you are on a first-name basis and try to squeeze everything that can out of you and every year you're there the greedier they get.
Not easy to make that list of values that will be truly relevant, especially if you are a small company. Or at least that seems to be the case in some fundamentalist church cultures (and other popular modern ideologies). The old cliche fits where you say when I need a surgeon I want track record and experience and I don't care if he prays or who to. It's good when you don't have to choose between two important lists of criteria but getting to be the company good enough to have all your first-choice preferences is a tall order.
Ironic coming from the guy who fires people for having premarital sex
Oh you mean that person who signed a contract with terms and conditions?
@@prissylovejoy702 Ah yes what a great work culture it must be to have your boss micromanage you outside of the workplace
@@prissylovejoy702 No reason any third party has to give a shit about enforcing such a stupid contract.
@@prissylovejoy702 We need more employers who will require veganism from employees and fire employees who eat animals when they can easily get plant-based protein. And we need more employers who will fire climate deniers and fire theists/god-believers.
@@theultimatereductionist7592
No. It’s a value issue. It’s a trust issue. It’s a control issue. You can’t have someone break your values.
I don't understand why free coffee is such a bogeyman. It's cheap for the employer, it makes employees happy, and it doesn't take people away from work. That's different than playing ping pong instead of working.
Ramsey Solutions is categorically a minority. Most companies (including professional) don't care about the employees as people.
Stay at home culture, walk the dog 17 times, get drunk and call that work.
Sounds good to me 😂

I'll hire for soft skills over hard skills all day long. If you're not a fit with the culture and core values then you're not going to succeed.
