Company Near Seattle Introduces $70K Minimum Wage

While this particular incident is an outlier, companies investing in their people is an excellent strategy for achieving rewards. I think it is worth mentioning, and I think it has emerged as a cutest in this thread, that highly selective hiring is a key part of this strategy. Low and non performers will not last long in such an environment, and rightfully so.

I can only speak for myself, but working in a highly rewarded environment with an expectation of strong achievement is exponentially better than an environment of people just putting in their time.
