New Manager: anything I can do to make your lives easier
Employee: (jokingly) more money would be nice
New Manager: what? More money won't actually make you happier, you know right?
New Manager: reminds me of a class from college. The professor asked us “would you work harder if you were paid $15,000 more?” And when everyone responded yes he told us that was a horrible answer and we should already be working our hardest.
Employee: (awkward silence)
