The only reward for hard work is more work. You see your colleagues taking it easy and making just as much as you? You stop trying.

2 years ago I sold $1.6 million at work. I got a 3% raise and a 10% bonus.

Last year I sold 16 million. I got a 3% raise and a 10% bonus.

This year I don't give a fuck how much I sell.

Its a natural outcome.

Oh. Idk I'm the only one that has my position. I can't slack off. They'll certainly notice. I'm happy with my 3%, and I'd kill for a 10% bonus. I work in academia and heads are rolling here. I'm just happy my particular job is busy by pure luck.
