    transcript

    FTE #1: I'm turning down your request for a raise because studies have shown that increasing salaries does little to improve performance or loyalty, I see you conveniently didn't read the parts that point out that's only true when salaries already meet or exceed market rates.

    FTE #2: I'm much 100 busy to get bogged down in the detail.

    Caption: Yes, there's a point where more money isn't helpful, but no, we haven't got there yet.
