I don't know why it's so hard for people to take care of each other. Other people are, ultimately, all we have in the world. I find it sad that so often people view each other as obstacles or things to manipulate and control.
Why shouldn't a CEO be interested in his employees' quality of life? Isn't that one of the responsibilities of a CEO, inside their overall responsibility to provide profit for the shareholders? Your employees have to be living adequately to at least get themselves to work and do the job they're there to do. And if they're treated well enough to have some loyalty and pride in their work, then that obviously shows up in the bottom line. That's certainly been the case in every job I've had, whether on the "manager" end or the "grunt" end. I don't see what's so hard about that.
