What I mean is everyone wants both. And I’m not talking huge differences. I don’t mean go from 30k per year to 120k per year or going home sweating everyday to watching Netflix most days. What brought the question up was I was in hospital and the computer the scanned all the medication and machines into was on my right side of bed and Iv pole where all medications were on my left. Nurses also had to deal with wired scanners which they had to hold up above the bed to walk around. Not a huge problem but cover 30 rooms with 4-16 different medications to swap out per day was probably a major pain(nurses can chime in disagreeing).
Another thing I’ve seen is people in a warehouse with systems logging all locations a product could be in and saying yeah we have some of that in one of these and they have to walk around to check several locations to find which still has some.
So you want a 2k-6k raise… If your job was easier how much would that make you stay instead of just demanding a raise?
Edit: this is not a real situation but say I have 4 employees under me and an extra 25k in budget. Would you prefer a raise or to improve your job?
It would be more straightforward to answer if it was less hours vs more pay, rather than easier.
Easier is too subjective, and I dont trust a boss to fairly judge what’s easier for the worker. Also any time throughout history when things got “easier” for the worker, more work in other areas or aspects just got piled on.
If my boss gave me the option of either working 4 days instead of 5, or get a 20% raise, id pick the former.
Ok that’s true and valid. But either way that ends up more dollars per hour. If it was an easy question I wouldn’t of asked it.
