Adding this to my list of reasons why I don't give "110%"
I always give 100% at work:
Generous Friday
That's the before lunch average...subject could not be found for evaluation after lunch.
god I miss going for a pub lunch on fridays
Have to make up 100 somehow. All numbers are just approximations, of course.
Based
#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
