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)
