There is no dollar amount to stop me from slacking at work
Back when I was making around $15 an hour and going to school for my MBA I had dreams - dreams of having an office with a door that I could shut and play Tetris online all day. And of delegating my work off to other people. And I used to wonder if I was making more money if it would have any sort of effect on my slacking at work. Would more money make me feel guilty about slacking? Would it make me actually work? Would I feel that I had a responsibility to actually work when I was finally getting paid what I worth?
I have an answer to that.
I have the MBA. I do not have the office with a door. I do have an assistant though. My salary had increased quite a bit to around $45,000 a year. I am still as much of a slacker as I ever was. Do I feel guilty? Nope. Does making more money make me actually work? Nope. Do I feel as if I have a responsibility to work now that I am getting paid what I am worth? Nope.
What about you? Have you wondered these things too?
