I've just had a missive arguement with a stupid woman who I work next to about what motivates people at work. I won't tell you which thing we were discussing, but ultimately she said that if I surveyed the people at work they'd disagree with me.
My problem is that she's right, they would, but that doesn't make them right.

To investigate this I want to know what you guys think motivates you.

Remember, it's not what you like most, or what you want. It's what makes you WANT to do your job most

To make this a little easier, think of it like this:
What satisfies you in your job - and if absent would leave you not satisfied (as apposed to dissatisfied)?

I'll let you know my opinion and that of the men in white coats later.

once upon a midnight dreary, while i pron surfed, weak and weary, over many a strange and spurious site of ' hot  xxx galore'. While i clicked my fav'rite bookmark, suddenly there came a warning, and my heart was filled with mourning, mourning for my dear amour, " 'Tis not possible!", i muttered, " give me back my free hardcore!"..... quoth the server, 404.

But like my first post says. What makes you WANT to do your job. Let's face it, if you got the money for not doing your job you'd be even happier. What makes you actually WANT to do it?

well nobody will pay me if I do nothing. I don't care about if something is finished or looks good or if someone likes me for doing the job. I want to do my job to get money and hopefully a promotion (which = more money). 150% capitalist here

The world would keep on turning if we went back to the old barter system.

To be honest, the results are exactly what I expected. But it still doesn't mean it's right.

I have a desk job.  If I don't work, paper begins to pile up - quickly.  After a week of not working an avalanche of undone paperwork would crush me to death.

So, survival instinct drives me to work.

Right now I've got to go with the money option because I need to have at least a few grand in my pocket before I go back to school.

For the people i work with.The money isn't great but i enjoy being at owrk mainly for the people i work with.

Now when first starting a job achievement is normally top for me,but once you do it a few times it becomes same old sh*t different day.
