> You can explain to me how to make employees happy without "infinite growth"

Autonomy so they dont get a do nothing manager that wants meetings to discuss upcoming meetings.

Treat them like adults - also hire adults in the first place. Throw out well poisoners early on. Bullies, sexists, racists, over-competitive twats, ass kissers, boot lickers, etc if you somehow hired such types - throw them out too.

Pay must be market rate but doesnt have to be 500k for an api plumber.

Remote work so they buy a property they afford, settle down and raise a family.

And so on.

Right. These types of conversations should always trend toward addressing systemic problems with our culture and the infinite growth mentality. It can be stemmed but until our monetary system is no longer based on interest and debt, eventually we will all face a reckoning.
