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

They wouldn't want me to give 100% effort. There are too many people around me who are new or poorly trained or incompetent. My 100% would involve addressing the poor leadership, poor processes, poor accountability mechanisms that have us in our current situation. So since they would likley fire me for it, they would need to pay me at least three years of industry-standard salary for my position to make up for time unemployed and the black mark on my job history.

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?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 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.
