This seems to be funny right, but this is one way to retain employees in start-up companies. May be the way is not ethical but somehow if your intention is good this is a simple way. This is advisable if the founder have the vision to achieve the objective but he is not able to make the employees happy during the maturity cycle.
I really like this; in fact this is the truth back in developing countries where “CARRY ON YOU’LL GET IT” is termed as “Motivation”.

@ Birumanadan , I believe thats mostly for smaller players or for local enterprizes in the sense indigenous, however it surely is not the way forward. Yes ” Carry on you’ll get it ” is considered to be motivation and will continue to be , but its equally important to make people achieve landmarks within their careers. The carrot looses its appeal if it dangles in front of you for too long , thus its important that a bite out of it be allowed once in a while.
Another way of thinking is what comes out of the Humanistic school of thinking ” the hawthorne studies” however that too has in recent years been proven wrong as the experiments were not carried out in non biased conditions. Though i truly believe that there is some truth to that way of thinking but isnt that another form of carrot.
