The research is mostly about overpaying, not high but equal pay for everyone doing the same job. It happens when people compare their effort to others' and if they feel over-rewarded it can actually lead to two outcomes:
Increasing effort to justify it, or
reducing effort
And the evidence is actually mixed between the two outcomes, because different people respond differently to different incentives, like flexibility, holidays, etc.
Equity theory mostly applies only when the work is measurable and the teams/individuals compare themselves constantly.
IMO this can be solved by better management and equal pay for equal work/skillset.
There are also other incentives that can crowd out internal motivation, such as surveillance, pressure, inequality. But obviously management doesn't want to talk about those, much more profitable to reduce the pay.
High pay alone doesn't really trigger crowding out.
I still maintain my position that this is largely a management and greed issue. And high and equal pay alone doesn't create a lazy, zombie workforce.
Here's some studies and theories arguing the opposite:
Are you saying the more people get paid the less work they do? This doesn't make sense to me. This sounds like a management and hiring issue. If someone doesn't want to work, you replace them with someone who does. Don't hire lazy fucks, hire competent people.
If I had a job that pays say 1 million a year, and I know I won't be able to get paid nowhere near as much at another company, I would make sure I work hard enough not lose that amazingly paid job, because otherwise I will have to work for half that and give up my rich lifestyle.
Again, a management issue for letting employees become zombies and a hiring issue for hiring lazy bums.
When I moved Windows from hdd to ssd I used EaseUs disk cloning, they had an option specifically for migrating windows, there were some issues along the way, but somehow I managed it (I think I had to physically disconnect the old windows HDD for the windows on the SSD to load)
So I would wipe the ssd, migrate windows properly with disk cloning and then set up Linux dual boot.
Did I say it wasn't? That screenshot shows the opposite of feminism. That's why I said ironically most of them probably consider themselves feminists.
Women fighting for "equality" and condemning places that exclude women, create a community that excludes men. Those are misandrists pretending to be feminists and they are giving feminism a bad name.
I pray and hope that it's not a feminist community, but I would bet my ass that most of the women in that community ironically consider themselves feminists.
I guess I'd start by getting to know the other person properly, what they like and dislike. It's kinda weird that you're already married, but imagine you're not and take her out on dates, etc. You can't really make someone happy without knowing what they like and vice versa.
