I have my own business and I love working on that. But the corporate jobs are draining my soul. It's not that the work can not be interesting, it's that there is virtually no risk/reward system in place of any kind. If you do well, you are seen as average, and the only time anyone gives a fuck is when you're not doing well. At the same time, when you're doing poorly, most companies have such a hard time finding workers now thanks to Biden, they can't fire you. The entire system of caring for these companies is just ... gone. And yet, I want to sympathize with these companies, because they are in a pickle, but these companies would fire me in a heart beat to cover their bottom line, whilst demanding full loyalty from me to be a team player. Just makes me want to focus instead on my business, sure it's not glamorous, and ill be eating shit for a while, but it already nets 300,000/yr with additional work incoming

Reward good behaviour and you will see more of it. Punish or ignore good behaviour and you see less.

Employment is a game of tug o war between the employer trying to get as much work for as little pay and employee trying to get as much pay for as little work. Apathy sets in when there is no more pay for the employee to gain and they are negotiating how much work is worth that pay. This is why communism will always fail
