thefinalbear Posted June 4, 2008 Share Posted June 4, 2008 (edited) Today if you were reading the news you may have noticed the following type of stories (they are everywhere). The central theme is that employees don't care about their pay. they care about touchy feely stuff like 'happiness' and 'job satisfaction'. I can confirm that this news is being delivered by one of the shadiest PR firms in the country, and is designed to keep wage increases at bay. Most of the articles are aimed at the management/director level although there are some that are designed to be read by the general sheep. What do you think? Personally I know that I have the same level of distain for every projcet I do.......so I go to the one that pays the most. http://www.morethanbusiness.com/Knowledge-...-motivation/572 http://www.gaapweb.com/news/872-Relationsh...-than-pay-.html http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics...st-workers.html http://www.dofonline.co.uk/management/perk...kforce7564.html http://www.hrzone.co.uk/cgi-bin/item.cgi?i...o%20%25B%20%25Y http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/business/7434736.stm Amazing........who would of thought it........everyone goes to work for reasons other than money.....pull the other one............. But why all these stories now?......could it be that the government are desperate to keep down wage demands?

Guest sillybear2 Posted June 4, 2008 Share Posted June 4, 2008 This reads like it's aimed at the nations estate agents. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yawnIHateSundays Posted June 4, 2008 Share Posted June 4, 2008 That sort of tripe has been peddled for years. I recently quit a job that I liked doing, liked the people I worked with a lot, but it simply did not pay as well as the new one. As Cindy Lauper sang, 'Money changes everything'.

wonderpup Posted June 4, 2008 Share Posted June 4, 2008 Amazing........who would of thought it........everyone goes to work for reasons other than money.....pull the other one............. what's a bit strange is that most the people advocating the idea will be on high salarys with bonus schemes.
