Newer people take more resources and make more mistakes when accomplishing tasks) and the company wants to keep them working for them more than you. So, yes, you deserve a lower standard of living than someone earrning more. Thinking otherwise is just envy because you're not as economically valuable as them but you want what they have. |
Okay that all depends on perspective. Some people have been 'working' for at my firm longer, and therefore earn more. I generally know out of the things above many of it doesn't apply to me. I mean I have to deal with others mistakes every day, if I left tomorrow the company will be at more of a loose end then if some others left in my firm. It's all down to an individual circumstance really, time in work, age, all of it works this stuff out.
But there is one thing, I DO deserve the same standard of living as anyone at my firm, I deserve it as much as you deserve it, the single working mothers do but whether I can afford it is the difference. A 22k wage person cannot AFFORD a better standard of living than a 40k wage person..
Hmm, pie.
