[QUOTE="59 Dano, post: 5885918, member: 23516"] You're leaving out something very important. Increases in wages and productivity are subject to the law of diminishing returns. There is a limit to productivity that no wage can overcome. Express gave multiple markets a better than 10% wage increase and saw no increase in productivity. Anecdotally, employees said that they were being worked to the max anyway. So here we are with a real world experiment in which employees who said that could not possibly do any more than they were already doing were given good raises and they did not do any more than they were already doing. To answer you question, it is my contention that when people say they aren't going to do more if you give them a raise, they are probably telling you the truth. [/QUOTE]
