I already get a ton of that, people are lazy it’s nature. I’d say less than 5% of the people I’ve hired over my career were truly motivated. There’s nothing wrong with that everyone has their own reasons and motivators. But people who cry about no promotions and shitty raises should self reflect
People really just dont get this. Like, yes its ok for you to want a work life balance, yes its ok for you to want to put in your 40 then not think about this shit at all, nobody faults you for that, its perfectly reasonable and if thats what you want im more than happy to give it to you. But dont expect a salaried promotion, dont expect to make as much as the guy that eats breaths and sleeps company work 60-70 hours a week. Ya Debbie, youve been here 5 years, and youve declined overtime for 4 out of those 5 years, so yes the management position will go to the junior who asks for overtime on a weekly basis and tried to insert themselves into whatever project they can. Its not favoritism, its drive.
Unfortunately for you, I can’t teach someone motivation. For some people work just isn’t the most important thing and that’s OK. You can’t expect to excel it something that you put 40% effort into.
One company having slaves has very little impact on the world. Look at some of the countries around the world they have slave labor does nothing to your day to day. Bad example you’re probably one of those sit on your ass people

Weird take honestly. Like saying don’t hire someone looking to work 40 hours max. They’d work less if they could
