Not people you want in your company
- staticautomatic 7y agoYeah good riddance to those two.
- dominotw 7y ago>and argued that it would make them lazy, I have hard time believing this.
- kylec 7y agoYeah, if you're making $70k and you could only get $40k elsewhere, you're probably going to work really really hard to not lose your job.
- anon73044 7y agoI've had this raise in 2 years at my current employer. If anything, I'm not putting in as many 60+ hour weeks as I was 2 years ago. What's the incentive? "We'll pay you more, so you can work more and deal with more stress and, one day, you can have a heart attack at you desk. "
- favorited 7y agoIt's like the saying goes, if you get paid 100k to work 80 hours/week, you're getting paid 50k.
- beatgammit 7y agoYeah, you might as well get two $50k jobs for better redundancy.
