What is "Rich"?

I have only used that argument on my children about their allowance.


They didn't go for it.

 

I respectfully disagree.

 

Of course not, but many people's pay is - it's not typical for a position, but is quite common for what a person actually adds to an organization.

I'm not most people. If I was making $15k more than I am now (in the same position), my pay would clearly be too high - not that I don't think I'm worth it, but the position's value to the company is just not that high. Would I accept that pay? Not without a corresponding amount of responsibility.

 

And I'm sure you aren't the only one. What I bring to the table isn't a fit for every organization.

 

personally, I think I'm overpaid for what I do.
especially considering the peanuts I got paid for some of my past jobs.

 

Speak for yourself.
