I'm sure Price felt just ducky after he jacked up everyone's wages. But not every employee is putting forth the same effort AND EVERYONE KNOWS IT.
If I'm now getting $70K for the effort and skill level that paid me $30K yesterday, what the hell is my motivation to do better than $30K effort and skills? And the workers who busted their ass to finally get to that $70K position legitimately, what is their motivation to do any more than they are now?
Mind your language, please; there are ladies present.
