i totally hear you on giving more than you got. no matter how much i got it was never enough. i always felt like i got the short end of the stick. i didn't feel like i was bribing them to stay, it was more like i felt like they were lucky to have me even though i was frustrated and felt invisible to them. i would work and work and work and the more i did the less i was noticed. felt like i was climbing a mountain wearing roller skates.
