People care as much as they're paid and treated well to care.

- M_Grey 10y agoIt's true, especially when tired.
- XorNot 10y agoThey also care as much as they think their ideas and creativity are actually being respected/rewarded. Doesn't matter how much you pay someone if you make it clear at every point that you don't care what they think about trying to improve the job they do, then they'll adjust their enthusiasm accordingly. Or if trying to be better is used as a form of punishment i.e. "that's a good idea Barry, you can be in charge of implementing it without any change in pay or responsibilities!"
- M_Grey 10y agoOh god, that last line was chilling and all too familiar. I actually felt my heart-rate increase. There's nothing worse than being institutionally punished for having a good idea.
