“As long as the task involved only
mechanical skill bonuses worked as they
would be expected: the higher the pay, the
better the performance.”
But once the task called for “even
rudimentary [basic] cognitive skill,” a larger
reward “led to poorer performance”

“The best use of money
as a motivator is to pay

“The decision to exit was
because of the work.
They left when their job
wasn’t enjoyable, their
strengths weren’t being
used, and they weren’t
growing in their careers.”
