Now it turns out that NASA is getting in on the act as well, creating a higher tech version of the same concept.

When employees are engaged, they are willing and able to contribute to the company’s success. That is why companies with engaged employees are 21% more profitable than those without. It’s important to note that employee engagement and employee satisfaction/happiness are not the same.

source. We start our businesses for different reasons. Every company’s founder has their own story behind them and a tale to tell about why they started up the business that they now run for a living. For some, a break from the humdrum routine of the nine to five lifestyle was what started things off. People grow sick of commuting and working hours to make someone else’s fortune on their behalf and walk away from the relative security to start something of their own.

This often ends up involving meticulous adjustments to prompts.
