The Powers That Be at my job (I'm a doctor once a week, and several nights per month) recently reworked their physician compensation scale. I understand the reasoning behind what they did, though I think it may backfire. The end result is going to reduce my paychecks by 20-25%. The new system went into effect July 1, and I've been having trouble with motivation at work. I'm seeing more patients whom I haven't seen before, and those newer relationships are less pleasing than my relationships with patients I've known for awhile. Now, I'm not a totally mercenary person, but a main reason I'm still doctoring is the money. (Also, God hasn't released me to stop doctoring-- though I ask regularly.) So now that my warm fuzzies are less, and my "compensation" is so much less, I'm less satisfied there. Why do I bring this up? It has me thinking about my children's "job satisfaction" at home. We don't link their allowance to their house-work. Instead, we expect them to do their chores every day and weekly because they are part of the family. And occasionally, one (or more) of them has less than an enthusiastic attitude about doing chores. I don't plan to increase their pay, or praise them for slipshod work, but I think I need to be grateful and appreciate the work they do do. I want them to know I appreciate their participation in our family life, and that their care of our home makes me happy. So I ask myself, am I appreciating their work? |
