RE: How Work Can Be Good Medicine - A Colaborative Challenge
I think it is so funny that when we do things because we care about the person, we give 110%, but when we feel invisible in a big company or when we feel like our time is being wasted, we won't give it our all no matter how much money we make. It's kind of nice though. If people are like this, then that means less and less of us can be bought.
Exactly! Money can only buy you so much. If you do things for someone you know (= you care about) it's not even "more than just about the money". You would probably do it even "for free". Whereas doing things for unknown (= not cared about) entities, such as "the customers", let alone "the shareholders", it all just comes down to what I'd describe as prostitution, sell-out, casting pearls before swine, that is wasting a good thing.
And yes, normally, if we're well taken care of, it's only natural that we can't be bought. The problem starts when we're suffering from our basic needs not being met. That's when we start exploiting ourselves and each other, for only one more morsel from some fat cat's table.
