Again, we have?

I knew, of course, this would be the response. But i'm not sure why, in the history of the world, people assume we haven't tried paying people more in various fields, and that "managers and bean counters aren't willing to do it".

It's amazingly silly.

It would take you less than 60 seconds to find at least 100 studies on this, across tons of fields.

The next thing that happens is that when you point out studies (and there are plenty good and bad), they will start arguing with any study that doesn't support their already preferred position, rather than trying to ever spend time considering alternatives.

There are nearly infinite studies on infinite fields and the results are fairly mixed.

Certainly not the amazingly positive expected value that constantly gets paraded around.

Some of y'all are so money driven you just can't possibly contemplate that not everyone is driven by money.
