understanding short term gains can lead to long term disaster
My team are smart and driven to do excellent work. They are supportive of each other and work well together.
Running us leaner and leaner, no COLA, all premium soap and few values (the real $$$), NO FINANCIAL INCENTIVES, which are the ONLY valid incentives. Again, nobody can pay their bills with "Atta boy"s.
If I were to say to my manager I want a raise, with no extra work, they would tell me "impossible". Yet they routinely tack on extra work to my existing tasks, and when I ask "well, are you going to pay me more for more work?", this is also impossible. If this seems wrong to you, you are correct.
