Rejection Cost. From the perspective that my profit is someone else’s loss, and someone else’s profit is my loss, the fact that I have to reject an opportunity to make money for my circumstances is a loss for me and an act of giving someone else a profit. In other words, my added value is not determined solely by productivity but also by the marginal utility generated by the law of supply and demand. Therefore, my labor price should reflect the value that I have given up—the profit I could have gained. If the rejection cost is not included in my profit, I will be at a loss to that extent. Failing to account for rejection costs in production expenses is not wise, but foolish, because it risks my survival. There is no absolute value in this world. All economic values are relative. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
The irony of sacrifice. Those primarily responsible for the problematic and troubling tasks within the organization can be viewed as possessing a strong spirit of sacrifice. All members of the organization will appreciate those who devote themselves, and others will express gratitude for the contributing members who carry the burden of hard work for them. Their relationships within the organization can also be assumed to be harmonious. However, if the organization fails to compensate these members for their sacrifice adequately, the members who benefited from it will remain, but the dedicated members may feel hurt and potentially decide to leave. Consequently, the organization could become a dysfunctional environment. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
