What Do You Value?

[jadnifer]

I was listening to the radio this morning and they had a trivia going on and the guys asked the girls an interesting question. In order of importance at work: money, respect, and power. How do you guys rank these? girls, if you want to answer too thats fine I just asked the guys because that was how the question was posed. Lets hear it guys! To rank: most important to least important

Respect, Money, Power...

[Head Wreck]

respect power money

vote HW for prime minister!

[Scary Guy]

power, money, then respect

with the first two comes the last, it's almost automatic.

Also even if you don't get the respect you still get the power. Hopefully it's the power to fire their disrespectful asses.

technically i can answer this because i very much like girls (as well as boys too). personally i like a good looking girl, a good personality that rocks in bed. i figure it goes in that order. call me superficial but hey, i am a damned pig what can i say. you can work around someone not being good in bed (that is what training is for) but it really sucks when you have to put a paper bag over their head or you have to fire them because they are psycho or a b@tch.

respect

team work

culture

a healthy sense of burden

the power thing....sort of comes along with the respect. If your respected then you have something to barter with.

I tend to look at most everything as "begin with the end in mind" sort of as a framework for priorities.

Diffuclut to order since you can get all three automaticly pretty much by having a huge pile of just one of the three, the trickle-down economics will lead to the other two. You'll never get respect from everyone, but having sick piles of money or power will lead to a lot of respect , either out of fear, love or both. Huge pile of respect can command power/money as well.

Probably would get a more acurate answer with a blind vote though, due to the stigma that is probably assumed if you order them one way or another.

But i think generaly we all want the >respect:shock:

...actually screw it, show me the money. That way i can have all my physical need pretty much met, while i work on the respect and the power , while not living in a cardboard box.

Money, Money, Money

I'm not at work to make friends...I'm there to make money. In the business world, that's what people respect.

Of course, I'm in a business where you don't get paid just for showing up and working.

Thats the kind of enviornment i thrive in. The go-getters get rewarded and the midrange people get marginalized and the slackers dont get sheeet. To bad i lost my freakin shirt in the market TWICE now due to medical bills. Freakin blows.

[Homicidalheathen]

Respect, Money then power? Dunno. I feel like Rodney Dangerfield. I get no respect.....would be nice for a change. Money is good......I don't need more than it takes to live comfortably......power I don't want or need.

I believe that this was the majority poll in the answer on the radio show

Respect, power, money

[Onyx]

This is a tough one to answer honestly.

If you are talking about work history, I spent quite a few years hopping from job to job every time I was offered a bonus to switch companies. I have NO company loyalty. It's a different world than it used to be. If a company beats my company's deal I'm gone tomorrow. They've been good to me for 12 years now so I'm still with them.

I give a fair day's work for my pay and I expect to be rewarded with money. I pretty much sold my skills to the highest bidder (considering benefit package plus cash).

so for me it would be

Money, then Power, then Respect.

(of course really, money is a hell of a lot of what real power consists of in this world).

[Dubh Aingeal]

Money then Repect then Money. Couldn't careless about the power aspect of work. Been in a position of power at work. Went back to being a underling cause I made more money.

Have to agree with Game of Chance as well. Not here to make friends.
