The long and short of this is that getting a raise doesn’t stop someone from looking for a new job or increase satisfaction with the company. Worse, if you ask for, say $10 more and hour and they give you $8 you are less happy than if you get no raise.
Paying people well is important, and people say it’s a primary motivator, but it isn’t as important as they think. Bad bosses, bad work environments and unsatisfying work are bigger factors than pay raises.
Tell this to someone working 2-3 jobs. They have literally no time to live. I’d happily slap some money on the table betting that one of these people would happily enjoy one shift’s amount of time to live in exchange for a fair paying job. Even if they don’t enjoy that job.
Categorically false and not supported by the article. What you described is the negotiation process for anything. If your first ask in a wage negotiation isn’t higher than your target you’re doing it wrong.
I never said there aren’t other motivating factors to stay at a job. But saying it’s not as important as people think is at best a bad faith argument. It’s not up to you to decide what other people think, aside from the mountain of evidence otherwise.
Either you’re being purposely obtuse, you have some disgruntled employess, or you like the taste of boots. In any case, your comments aren’t contributing anything meaningful to this conversation.
