Consider the following:

be happy
see LPT
search for competing jobs
find out you are being underpaid
approach boss
boss fires
apply at other job
get job
coworkers and environmental are shit
be unhappy

be happy
see LPT
search for competing jobs
find out you are being underpaid
IT notes you're using business time for personal use
you are fired a few minutes later
apply at other job
denied because you are now known to waste company time
5 steps later, move back in with your elderly parents

Sometimes, it's okay to actually just be happy.

This got me thinking. That is more than inflation, right? Where is this coming from? Maybe it's coming from happy guys who don't ask for a raise.

So is this pitting workers against each other? Some act, but only for their personal gain, at the expense of others. When together, they could get fair raises constantly and still be happy guys?

Oh, just be happy! Of course, why didn't I think of that!

This all assumes you are happy in your current position as per the op. If you aren't currently happy then fuck em, apply for jobs while you shit on the ceos desk.
