<p>Do you agree with “The more we earn, the more likely we are to complain about lack of time because we equate our high earnings with a sense of entitlement to more leisure and feel resentful that time cannot be stretched.”</p>
<p>It’s a quote on why a career with greater salary does not necessarily equate to greater happiness.</p>
<p>One development of the last century was the observation that a graph of Earnings/Hour vs. Desired Working Hours is essentially a downward-facing parabola. Whatever the reason for this, it’s a verified phenomenon that a lot of companies don’t seem to acknowledge.</p>
<p>You can disagree with me all you want but I’ve witnessed it. </p>
<p>For example, I was interviewing at a pharmacy for a job as a cashier and the manager told me he wants to make sure their employees are comfortable with their wages. He wants the pay rate to be high enough so their employees don’t feel like they are being treated like garbage. He says higher wages made his employees come to work on time, not steal from the store, etc. It actually makes a lot of sense paying employees more so they are happier.</p>
