“When you do a job, you should do it well, no matter how much you are being paid.”
Like you did when you were SM, Stuart? Always pushing your work at Marla, doing nothing but sitting in the office drooling over the latest edict from your god Corporate. That’s what you call doing your job well?
And no, people will not perform in top form when they are being paid peanuts. In one strip before Cooper became stockroom supervisor and got on salary, he admitted he ate Raman noodles every day. Do you really think an employee can perform in top form when they can’t afford decent food to eat? When you’re constantly worried about how you’ll pay next month’s rent because your hours were cut again? Of course it’s easy for you to forget (if you ever knew) what that feels like. But you always were a first class A-hole Stuart.
I’ve always wondered what kind of life a person must have had in the past to engender this kind of sociopathic “manager attitude.”
I once had a manager tell us we were all motivated by our jobs, not pay, and that’s why we would be getting smaller raises.
