In today's economy, jobs are hard to come by in 2009 due to the recession occurring worldwide. People are going though hard times in deciding if their hard work is paying off on their jobs. The question everyone seems to ask is the same: Should you work for the love of your job or should you be paid for your hard work? People that have worked at their jobs for 2 years or more they should receive a bonus or pay raise for their hard work and their dedication to the job. Some people work for the love of their jobs but over time, the love gets kicked out the door for survival and personal satisfaction.
Most people would work more efficiently in the workplace without a pay raise because they love their job or need their job to pay the bills. However, with the increase in work productivity without a bonus or pay raise somewhere down the road, people lose their love for their occupations.
People often say, the more money and more rewards on the job will not buy you happiness, but could it kill your desire to do his or her best. People work harder and perform better if there is pay raise or bonus involved because people want to feel that their hard work is paying off in the long run for the family.
Davaris Pilcher, a graduate student that works in Revels Hall explained that, "When you do something for a reward, you become less interested in what you are doing. But because of the economy today, people in the workplace needs material incentives to keep their motors going for the job, so that they could have the drive that they need like a reward to keep them working hard in the workplace." Some people wish that their job would change the reward for every task and come up with new ways to motivate there workers with different incentives and pay raises. In result of this, you will never lose your "spark" to work for your job.
