That's true only up to a point. Look at baseball players, they frequently outperform in the last year of their first (lower value) contract, but then underperform after getting the longer high value second contract. People are motivated by money only up to some point. The point varies by person and some people are far more motivated by other factors.
- cookiecaper 10y agoWhile I recognize that you're referring only to my comment about working harder to justify a raise, I agree and I think this is actually a good summary of the sentiment of my comment. I mentioned a feeling of guilt and/or additional responsibility only as one possible reaction to increased pay resulting in additional stress, not as one that is universally felt. There are many other valid reactions, but in most cases, they also end up increasing stress. IMO, in most cases, "give them more money" is not going to appreciably improve the problem of burnout.
