Everyone wants to feel like they’re being fairly compensated for the work they do. It’s part of what makes a job sustainable. Not only do you need enough money to live, you need enough money to feel appreciated, or else your sense of purpose will dwindle over time. The best employers know this and do their best to pay their employees not only a living wage but a wage that matches their commitment to the company. Loyalty doesn’t come for free when it comes to business.
