Marc Haine argues compensation should reward finished work, not hours. Studios pay hundreds of millions for films like Avengers: Infinity War regardless of production time. Bad hires can't be trained into alignment; you need better screening for cultural fit from the start.
It's a very regulated thing saying, here are the time boxes in which you work. Now, it is interesting because you are not paying that writer, you're not paying David Ayer $1.5 million or Kurtzman or somebody $2 million because they spent 60 hours on it. What you're paying for is you got Avengers: Infinity War and it's ready to shoot, or you got the F1 movie at such a quality level Brad Pitt wants to be in this, right? So you don't care. What you want is something great. There is no solution to bad hiring. If someone is not aligned with what your company does, like, I can't solve that, you can't solve that, no one can solve that. Just learn how to screen people better. I think what we're going to talk about is when you have people that are open to be inspired, open to contribute and do great things, how can you help them feel great about that and feel healthy, as well as have your business grow because of it? Yeah, I love that.
