Working to avoid punishment creates workers who do the bare minimum. Working for a reward creates workers that go above and beyond.

We get publicly humiliated at work if we ask questions or don’t do something right. I had my entire schedule change as a full timer because of one thing I didn’t do right my first week as a full timer and it’s been an entire month since the schedule change and I hate it. I’ve been here 3 months in total and get no respect or decency. But I’m a damn wage slave
