    I’d do my job for free for a few days just to help people out (which I like doing) and there’s parts of it I enjoy.

    But I like paddling down the river much more.

    For most people, a paycheck is a business financially compensating them for the time lost and the effort done. The business is of no value to the employee otherwise. The compensation must be fair and worth their while, else the business will have to find someone worth what they’re willing to offer in compensation.
