Steemit is actually a pretty good system, hard work=reward. I have a regular job, and I've been there almost a year. I work my tail off, and do a good job. But there are people who have been there longer than me, who were hired under a previous manager and make more than I do. A few of them are lazy, call in sick frequently or just don't show up. But we are shortstaffed at the moment, so they keep on getting paid. I have been promised multiple raises and I'm still waiting. But here on Steemit, I know that if I put time and effort into my posts, I will be rewarded. I'm given a "raise" every day in the form of rewards, and it adds up over time. Steemit as it is currently formatted, is actually a pretty good "working environment", and a lot of fun too!
