Occupy Wallstreet

No, because my boss would be expecting me to put $20,000 worth of effort in for the $5,000 I’d be getting. If you think about it with your head it’s just not worth it. Someone doesn’t just get a raise because their boss likes them, there are strings attached to that. And the employer doesn’t care that you aren’t getting the whole amount, they just know that they are paying it out.

The problem here is you have no concept of where this money comes from. You seem to think employers just have stacks of cash laying around where they can throw out bonuses and raises to their middle class employees, who will then fork 50-75% of it over to the government. It’s unrealistic and frankly a little astonishing that people actual think that’s how business works. It’s not; just ask Friendly’s.

It’s a hypothetical situation guy.

Plus I don’t know if you’re familiar with this, but typically the higher up you go, the less work you do.

Also if getting paid more is not worth it then why are you in a position where you are now? Go get a easer, lesser paying job. Because goddam, fuck working harder for more money.

Companies have plenty of bonuses to throw around. I can find you half dozen recent CEO’s that fucked their company and got multi million dollar compensation packages after they got fired due to retarded contracts.

They get paid MILLIONS for not even doing their job and getting fired.
