Today I was given a 1.3% raise and my 10% bonus was funded at 6%. Immediately after I was told that someone told me they were about to do something that could end up costing the company around $50k. I didn’t stop them.
Imo there’s no such thing as ‘paid enough to care’. If I’m not paid TO care, specifically, I wont care. I’m not wasting my mental energy to create more profit for the shareholders if I’m not directly incentivised to do so.
The fallacy is that anyone in the C Suite is distinctly smarter, or more wise than any reasonably proficient worker. They’re not. They most often simply had a better leg-up early in their careers, either through wealth, nepotism, or pure luck.
