Good behaviour is not rewarded? You and I must live in very different worlds then. Good behaviour is literally rewarded to me everyday. The time you help a colleague with a problem a few times leading to them vouching for you for another job. Going the extra mile for a work project allowing you more leeway in your planning out your hours. Making chitchat with the fast food worker that you get your sandwich from once a week leading him to give you a sandwich for free on your birthday.
Of course it's not an instant reward like it is for children but good behavior is one of the things I can point to that led me to be in the position I am now.

Most of those from people I never worked with, but they were asking friends for recommendations. So yeah, good behavior has fueled the two thirds of my career where I earned about eighty percent of my income.
- InfiniteRand 5y agoYears of good behavior has given me a very valuable reward. I have a mood disorder and anxiety issues, and while it is controlled by medication and therapy and coping techniques, etc. every now and then it does cause me problems. So occasionally I have a few weeks where my productivity drops significantly. But people in the company like me, because I have built a reputation as a helpful person, a hard worker, and a pleasant colleague. So I get the benefit of the doubt if I am having an off-week or two. So yeah, my experience lines up with yours.
