Does not work very well. Raising pat only works for about 6 to 8 months. Then you need another raise. So to stay truly happy and productive, more elements need to be introduced to the equation.
This is true. No realistic pay raise can compensate for a toxic work environment. At some point, most people will value their mental health over high pay.
In my last place of work we called it the “golden handcuffs” Money was great, work was terrible. In the end I took a pay cut to get out, best decision I ever made - back on the same salary and much happier within 8 months
