I think this is the way of thinking in capitalism. "I have been working my ass off to become what I am now, I have paid college, and now one with lower try is making as much as me. That's not fair." Also this leads to another hidden thought of "That mail boy is currently getting the money which I should have been making".
Well I can't say thought first one is not justified but the second one is really absurd.
- moopling 12y agoHard work may give you an edge over other people in the same job role, so seniority way be seen as somewhat correlated with hard work within a position, but across job roles pay is much more dependent on other factors for instance the opportunities provided to you by your wealth, race and sex to name a few. I'm of the opinion that just because someone is paid less, doesn't mean they work less hard, and I don't think it fair to begrudge people their pay for quite possibly just not being born with the same silver spoon. P.S: Not to imply that wealth, race, and sex don't also hinder you within a job role, but I think that it's probably even more prevalent across them.
- loco5niner 12y agoShockingly, hard work gives you an edge over other people even in the same wealth, race, or gender categories as well. So, why lean on those categories as an excuse?
