Once Professional Motivation Disappears

In the case that one workplace task or coworker or manager after another destroys a person's motivation, it might never return even if the issues are rectified.  When someone sees the general futility of hard work in many instances, is not paid well or even comfortably, or has to constantly endure the irrationalism and pettiness of other workers, among other things, their resolve might diminish.  Their desire to do anything more than the absolute bare minimum might vanish, and there is nothing irrational or sinful about this.  Anytime they prepare for work or begin it, they could be struck by apathy or frustration.

The problem always needs to be resolved, but just taking it away does not undo what has happened already.  Once professional drive disappears, it might never return in any circumstances.  Updated compensation might indeed still leave someone disappointed or rightly upset over all the money they did not receive up to that point.  The firing of an unjust coworker is not guaranteed to restore any delight in work that might have once been present.  Always, avoiding these pitfalls is the best way to prevent this disintegration of personal investment in a job.

All of the aforementioned problems only come about due to irrationality, and since reason is inherently true, there is no basis for anyone to believe or act contrary to it.  They are always in the wrong and can always have been rational instead.  Due to the nature of necessary truths alone, workplace stupidity is erroneous, aside from ant moral dimensions.  However, there is a great deal of both general stupidity and intended exploitation in companies at large, and it is not exactly as if burnout or loss of devotion to work is surprising.  There are glaring factors contributing to it.

Aside from pure logic and morality, it is also objectively pragmatic to sidestep so many of the typical problems with workplaces by eliminating counterproductive or otherwise irrational company policies, paying well, and encouraging true collaboration free of all assumptions.  Yes, even pragmatism is governed by the laws of logic despite being meaningless compared to it, and effectiveness never invalidates moral obligation, but in this context, it would involve addressing many of the same errors anyway.  The way that many business leaders are not already being pragmatic in these ways, despite being irrationalists in either case, shows how far from alignment with reason they truly are.
