Mildly Infuriating

Of course, nobody with two brain cells to rub together who reads that answer is sitting there thinking to themselves, "Huh... I guess I've had it wrong all this time, focusing so much on money." Rather, they're instinctively blurting out, "Yeah right -- I call bull!"

But I'll give them partial credit; frequently it's about money. Sometimes, it's just about a work environment that used to be great going to crap. And sometimes, it's about the employee coming to an epiphany, and realizing that their work environment was actually crap all along.

That said, it may be true that not every job that I've ditched was entirely because of money... but it should go without saying that it's always a factor in where I went for the next job. Also, it's never the only factor -- but it's certainly one of the more significant ones.

share this with workreform. they'll love it. I would link but forgot how

I actually convinced my boss to get us a ping pong table, all I had to do was forego my pay for a year!

Totally worth, since I'm not working for the money, I'm working for the culture (our culture is now a ping pong table). It's so awesome that I can use it during my state-mandated breaks 🙂

This has to be satire

...right?

I can't afford groceries for the 3rd time this month, but did you hear they're putting a ping pong table in the lounge!?

Most people quit because of bad bosses. I know I have...

Wild. They both "might" help. They both cost the company money. They should both be correct.

Chants for your next strike action:

• "Our CEO'S a DING DONG, WE JUST WANT THE PING PONG!!!"
• "Hey hey! ho ho! Give us balls and paddles or we're going to go! Hey hey! Ho ho!"
• "The workers without ping pong, will never work the day long!"
• "The people with no paddles, will never be your chattel!"
• "backhands, forehands, we don't need your labels, the only thing we need are fucking ping pong tables!"

I doubt most people leave because of a lack of ping-pong table.

Damn. Now I want a ping pong table.

This is the reason why but never the reason I give. If I make employers think at any time that I focus too much on the money, they will see me as a troublemaker. Instead, I come up with some bullshit excuse such as medical reasons and the smart employers will work it out on their own.

As a capitalist I don't understand why it wouldn't be about the money

Was "A ping pong table and enough free time in my schedule to actually use it for half an hour on a quiet day without the area manager coming in and demanding that we get back to work" too long?

Ill stay at an average paying job with a great culture, over a shitty culture and more money. But only to a point.
