Pizza Makes You More Productive At Work

Dan Ariely is a psychologist who did a study as part of his book "Payoff: The Hidden Logic that Shapes Our Motivations."  He found out that handing out pizza at work was more likely to incentivise office workers than a cash bonus.  WHAT?!

He found that pizza and compliments from the boss are the most motivating.  Money incentives came in third.  Again...WHAT!?

Look, I love free pizza and compliments from the boss and I'll take them all day long, but they don't pay for gas, daycare, or my obsession with Harry Potter.  You know what I'm saying?
