Gregory's Server@wordshaper I think money/resources are a very fundamental force, but at all levels of resource imo human beings have fundamental psychological needs (I am extremely anti the Maslow hierarchy of needs thinking, which isn't very evidenced -- while obviously, resource need constrains your attention and urgency and creates crisis, I think it is very destructive to act like people without money can't want to create or connect or are as capable of wanting intellectual fulfillment at the same time)

@grimalkina @wordshaper Not to mention whatever is measured in those marginal bonuses often encourages antisocial/harmful practices for people who are in it for the bonus, versus holistically invested and putting in the hidden labor. And that cheapens everything and makes leadership look like dispassionate clout-chasers to the people who care most. |
@wordshaper but on a smaller level it truly cracks me up that people think there is going to be a magical linear relationship between motivation and like, throwing someone who makes a massive salary a little bonus or something, vs the very fundamental other needs that they are clearly thinking about every single day like autonomy in work and flexibility to be with their families and a million other things that are CLEARLY RIGHT THERE
