Bonus question: how much would a company have to pay you for you to give 100% effort at work?

Let's say they wouldn't fire you for it. Would an industry-standard salary be enough to get you to put in all that effort?

[โ€“] [email protected] 4 points 2 weeks ago

No, my salary is currently around average and I set my effort level compared to my coworkers' levels. Any move/promotion paths I'm interested in would not be made easier by giving that full effort.

I look for smart effort, not max effort. The CEO of my company is for damn sure not the hardest working. Hard work is not the full answer to success in this capitalist society.
