@Mshockley Absolutely. Throughout my working life, I always liked working for smaller companies as they seemed to value their employers more. Now I'm 60 and encountering ageism, working for under $13 an hr and just got a $.20 raise. Yeah, I feel so valued, LOL.
@Pepstar companies have a cognitive disconnect - they love to focus on the bottom line/profits as their driving motivation but if you tell them money is the driving motivation for their workforce...PEARL CLUTCHING and SHOCK
@Pepstar paying people what they are worth also makes them feel safe, because you are doing as much as you can to look out for their interests.
