Funnily enough, the less someone wants to do it the more of that “incentive” is purely stick and no carrot. Almost as if there’s something fishy about that whole notion 🤔
Unless… people actually prefer to be garbage men over the grueling work of an investment banker?
If it weren't for the pay difference, I'd certainly prefer garbage man. A huge percentage of kids want that job before the economy crushes their dreams. It's cool!
It's overtaken deep sea commercial fishing for deadliest job in the US.
That is true and I'd still rather be a garbage man than an investment banker. I'd die of depression and they wouldn't blame my job.
I would personally prefer the hands-on labor of garbage collection to a desk job, provided good working conditions and treatment like a human being are included.
