It is sometimes believed that money is the main reason for people to remain working for the same company. While I may acknowledge the logic behind this suggestion, I still firmly disagree with it for several reasons.
Proponents of this view may have several arguments, two of which are the financial benefits and the desire to show status. Regarding the first reason, most people would work in high-paying companies to pay for their expenses. This could help them to feel less worried about the lack of money to spend on amenities. For example, young parents in Vietnam with children tend to choose jobs with a high salary to cover their child’s school fees. As a result, they would spend most of their time working. Concerning the second reason, some individuals are keen on displaying their wealth such as mansions or cars. This could motivate them to continue working and earn more money, which encourages them to remain with the same company.
Nevertheless, I still oppose this view for several reasons, including passion for the job and the environment. Looking at the first factor, being passionate about a job would help a person work comfortably. This is because interest makes them less stressed compared to doing a job they dislike. Therefore, they would be ready to put in effort in a job they love. By way of illustration, some teachers still desire to teach despite their moderate pay. Concerning the second factor, staying in a healthy working environment with supportive employees or high-quality facilities could play a vital role in the employee’s performance and have a strong influence on their decision to stay. This means that even when salaries are not particularly high, many individuals still prefer such workplaces to avoid stress and burnout in the long term.
In conclusion, it is understandable why some may argue that money can mainly motivate people to work for the same company. However, I cannot support such a view given the aforementioned reasons.
