Adding this to my list of reasons why I don't give "110%"

[–] [email protected] 171 points 6 months ago (2 children)

I always give 100% at work:

  • Monday: 10%
  • Tuesday: 20%
  • Wednesday: 30%
  • Thursday: 20%
  • Friday: 20%

Have to make up 100 somehow. All numbers are just approximations, of course.

#1 - literally impossible

#2 - not being paid 110%

#3 - the company doesn't actually reward going above and beyond, and sometimes they punish you

We ain’t even being paid 100%. I checked what a vaguely comfortable lifestyle would be for my area and even the top earners in the field make nowhere near that number. They were paying me effectively 43%, it was a miracle I came back to work after lunch on Wednesdays.

If they made researching payscales illegal, would that help? :p
