So maybe money can't buy you love, but can it buy you happiness in the workplace? As it turns out, the answer is rather complicated. On today's show, Liz and Larry tackle all sorts of issues surrounding the money we earn at work, from how our happiness is often dictated by how much our coworkers make, to how to best negotiate a raise with your boss. Then we're joined by Jonathan Fields, host and founder of Good Life Project, to talk about the ways we derive meaning from work beyond financial compensation, and our listener Erin joins us for a coaching session on how to stick up for yourself when bosses treat you poorly. Finally, our friends over at Penn & Pencil descend into envy and chaos because of annual bonuses.

For more on how our happiness at work can be affected by our coworkers' salaries, check out this 2011 Princeton study. You can hear more from Jonathan and Good Life Project on iTunes and everywhere else.
