Money for nothing
Money for nothing A couple of months ago, the Bureau of Broadcast Measurement (BBM) called J.P, a reader from London, Ontario, and asked if he would participate in a survey that involved completing a radio listening diary for a week. The BBM is an audience measurement company for Canadian radio and television broadcasters (It's comparable to Nielsen Media Research or Arbitron in the United States P reports that he willingly complied" with the request, believing that "my input might have some, however minor influence on what was broadcast." To encourage J.P.'s cooperation, BBM included a toonie (a $2 coin) with the survey. J.P dutifully filled out the survey and sent it back to BBM. He would have completed and returned it regardless of whether any money had been included in his survey package. After all, he had agreed over the phone to participate n mid-December, J.P received another package from BBM, this one unsolicited. He hadn't been called ahead this time to assess his willingness to receive the package that contained a 70-page consumer product survey. But accompanying the new lengthier survey was a crisp $5 bill. I have no intention of completing this survey," writes J.P His first inclination was to place the unanswered survey and the $5 bill in the postage-paid envelope and send it back to BBM. But, he observes, that this might cost BBM more in postage than the $5 they sent him. He wonders if he should just pocket the $5 and drop the survey in the recycling bin. A third option J.P doesn't raise, of course, is to put the $5 bill in the postage-paid envelope and just return it to BBM J.P is wrestling with what the right response should be No one called to ask my permission," he writes. "Am l under any obligation to respond in any way?Explanation / Answer
The advice that Aristotle would probably give after reading this whole thing can be like... By considering his famous words PLEASURE in the job puts PERFECTION in the work. I've mentioned these words here because the reader J.P is not ready to work for Bureau broadcast measurement (BBM) that can be identified from his words "I have no intention of completing this survey". As he had willingly participated in the previous survey and returned that survey package back to BBM.
Aristotle would probably like to know whether J.P wants to work for BBM and whether he can find any pleasure in his job. Because Aristotle mentioned that happiness depend upon ourselves. Aristotle strongly believes that if one doesn't find pleasure and happiness in his particular job there is no point in working for that organization. Aristotle would instead AGREE with J.P and think that 5$ would not be sufficient and it will charge even more for the postal charges and advice him to donate that amount to charity rather than keeping in his pocket.
