The recent ‘forced’ attendance discussions feeding us the pablum that “studies have shown that increased pay is not an incentive to perform better” piqued my interest. For argument’s sake, let us assume it is a correct statement. Let’s just pretend that the message is sincere and that they weren’t merely telling us the obvious that all already knew, I.e., that our pay would not go up with the recently increasing oil prices.
Since the link between increased pay and better performance is presumed not to exist, we can save a bunch of money by paying our CEO, renown for directing MRO into years of under performance versus our peers, one Hell of a lot less money. That goes for Mitch and all the inner circle, too!
