I was talking to a coworker who said to me -- what do you think about asking for bonuses like my friend at FB gets, to get us to do more work? I said: I'm paid more than I know what to do with already. It's not a problem of money, it's a problem of managers who aren't leaders, and lack the ability to inspire anybody to do anything. It's no surprise we don't get much work done if nobody is inspired or proud of what they're doing.
She had apparently never thought of this, but agreed. I guess a lot of people think it's about the money and then wonder why they can't get much done. imo the money determines who works where, but has almost nothing to do with the amount of work that gets done.
... so yeah, I agree.
