Lauren Stevens, Chapter 6, Question 1

An example that relates to my life is when he talks about productivity making us richer. This applied to my life during the "back to school" season at American Eagle. In order to meet our goals for the amount of denim or sweaters we sold there was a "BTS contest." How it worked is while you're working, if you do an exceptional job, you name gets put in the drawing for the day. For example, for every 5 rewards cards the cashier got, that equalled the name being put in the drawing once. In my case, my manager always had me filling clothes where we had already sold them. Every cart full I got put on the floor, I got my name put in once. Therefore the more productive I was the "richer" I was.
