I believe some one has hypothesised elsewhere that money is a
undisatisfying method, not a motivating factor of work...
[Host's Note: I scrated my head about the above sentence and wrote Simon
to verify it. He replied: "I actually meant what i printed, that is, that
money acts as a method for relieving disatisfaction, and not actually
motivating." ...Rick]

Profits are great, the employees are not. Everyone hates the new
structure and a rebellion is brewing in the form of a union. Upper
management scratches their heads, not understanding that higher wages are
not the solution to every problem.
The employees just want to have their little family-oriented plant back.
The point of this unsolicited story is this: money can buy only one
emotion- greed. From my humble perspective, most people want a good work
environment over high salaries.
