i remember at one job that was really burning me out through frustration, i was able to negotiate a promotion that came with a 40% salary increase to do what i had already been doing.
i was way less frustrated when those checks started rolling in and felt far more bought-in.
of course, i am certain there’s some upper limit on how they could pay me to do work that was frustrating in a dysfunctional organization… but i for one am willing to explore my capacity and find that limit! and when we do get to the point where i say, “more money in my pocket won’t make me stay”, then we can start looking at the pizza parties, awards/recognition, the team building exercises, the listening sessions, mission statements, and values-based organizational planning.
