Depends. There are people who put in the absolute minimum work they can get away with, and there are people who have pride in their profession.
That's independent of pay scale.
Granted, if you pay way below expectations, you'll lose the professionals over time. But if you pay lavishly no matter what, you get the 2021/2022 big tech hiring cycle instead. Neither one is a great outcome.
- meiraleal 2y agoA business that relies on people having pride in their profession won't scale. Proper rewards scale.
- groby_b 2y agoWe demonstrated in 2022 that they don't. There is no single mechanism that does. Paying well is always a component in attracting talent (see my original comment) It is not a guarantor of quality/motivation. That's ongoing leadership work. And part of that is maintaining/kindling pride in people's work (and firing the ones who are just there for the money)
