  Wtf are you talking about? Employees work office jobs 9 to 5 because they love to work. Like all good employee’s. Heck, if they weren’t getting paid they’d still the work for free because they love it so much. It’s only out of the pure goodness of my heart that I decide to pay them minimum wage/s

    They work because they're family, right? Not for money.

    The only thing that makes less sense than your comment is people upvoting it.

    Morale and pay are both factors, your sarcastic comment makes it seem like you believe everyone only cares about pay and nothing else…

    Some people make good money, so that’s not their primary motivation when picking a job.

      You clearly missed “/s” at the end of his post, OR you don’t know what it means.

        It’s funny how many people are telling me I missed the sarcasm when I literally said it was sarcasm…

        your sarcastic comment makes it seem like you believe everyone only cares about pay and nothing else…

        Someone can attempt sarcasm and still fuck it up bud

      It’s obviously sarcasm…

        Maybe that’s why I said it was sarcastic?

        Someone can be sarcastic and still not make a point…

        What exactly do you think sarcasm is?

      If needing to pay for basic necessities weren’t a factor in people getting jobs, I highly doubt the majority of people would work the kinds of jobs of today. I don’t know a single person who is excited to go into their retail job and deal with shitty customers all day or sit in a bland cubicle all day making spreadsheets that nobody really cares about.

      I know more people who would much rather devote their time to learning and playing instruments, or making something with their own hands, or writing stories, or spending time raising their families.

        I actually enjoy making those spreadsheets. I wouldn’t do it for free though.

        Not everyone works entry level retail jobs…

        And some people already make enough to live comfortably…

        Which is why I said that.

        Some people make good money, so that’s not their primary motivation when picking a job

        I now completely understand why something as stupid as what I replied to got upvoted tho.

        Have fun here

  In fact all three are valid answers. Cruel manipulation as it is, additional even uncompesated responsibilities often do drive retention as people are invested too deep and too stressed out to consider switching or find time for the process.
