about how the more effort you put into something that isn’t laborous, the less you get in return. So I’ve come up with a completely arbitrary scale, one that I wonder about the merits of, but that I want to know more about.
Basically, I think, based on experience, that the more you get paid, the less real effective, productive work you actually get done… that there are endless things that offer no value to the customer/stockholder/organization/focus of effort that the highly paid are pre-occupied with, so that they really only give the company a fraction of the total possible hours for their salary.
It’s just a hunch:
1000 hours = $50,000.00
800 hours = $70,000.00
400 hours = $140,000.00
Now the real trick, if this resembles reality, is to only work those 400 hours, get the $140K, and get the rest of your time back so you can do something that matters.
