I like it
I couldn't agree more! But sometimes companies start out like that, then see themselves beaten in short term market share by companies that use and abuse their people.
In the long term, companies that use and abuse people will have so much turnover the products they put out won't be worth much in the long run, and the company that treats people right will move ahead. But too many places opt to quit being nice because in the short term, it does look like nice guys finish last.
Shareholders can be pretty demanding of rapid short term growth at the expense of long term viability. It takes a very strong, ethical management to manage shareholder expectations for the long haul. A company that abuses too many people will fail if surrounded by more ethical business models. But it takes a lot of guts for a company to stick to treating employees right for long term growth when it looks like the bad guys are winning.
