Money is not the only way to get someone to do work. A few little things to make the job a little more interesting or challenging can go a long way to motivating someone to do a good job. Yes there are people out there who will do the bare minimum to get by, and who dont give a flying fark about their jobs, but it's up to the interviewers to screen out these people to ensure that only the best for the job are hired.

We have a rigorous hiring process here. I even got my team members to be part of the process allowing them to do the 2nd or technical interviews so that they had input as to whether the person was competent or not.
Interviewees potentially met with 4-6 people not including the head hunter pre screening process. It helped weed out a few people I'm sure, but as you can see from my previous post about the incentives I helped create, there were still people who didn't want to work very hard or at least tried to get away with as much as they can.
That's the original poster docbungle's intent/rant, that there's those people exist. You just chimed in blaming him being a bad manager without a nod to the fact that what he was expressing and feeling does have some merit, just touting idealisms.
