When I left school at 14, I thought I had better get a job. I got one in a factory where I sewed on buttons. It was so boring and we weren't allowed to talk or sing. I lasted a day.
Every time I appoint someone to a vacant position, I make a hundred unhappy and one ungrateful.
I don't think anyone at Google feels happy about it, but they've been in some sense, you know, enslaved to their business model, and so they have to satisfy their advertisers.
When you have to work with and exist amongst cynical, burned-out personnel on a set, it doesn't matter what you're shooting or how much you're being paid - it's not worth it.
Businesses often forget about the culture, and ultimately, they suffer for it because you can't deliver good service from unhappy employees.
I've stood in front of 500 extremely angry people in Waterford when we closed a call centre there. That's not fun, and the day you think it is fun is the day you shouldn't be doing it.
People who are employed in a way they don't like - my heart cries for them.
It's horrible when you go to work and you're not happy.
