I took a $40k pay cut to leave my technical copywriter job and work for $6k a year.
We asked the workers to give up 25 percent of their salaries. Imagine! We asked the industrialists to freeze all costs, no matter what the inflation is.
To kill yourself for earning a salary is not worth it.
We've got to keep the cost of watching football down. If that means players getting the same money for a few years rather than a 25 per cent increase every time, that's fine.

When Atletico wanted to sell me, I was told that I earned too much money and they wanted me off the wage bill. I liked that honesty.
My manager has a car payment, so I work every night.
I have commissioners who had very good jobs, making good salaries, and gave up something to work for the state.
Don't be afraid of imperilling your health by giving a few extra hours to the company that pays your salary!
I'd play for half my salary if I could hit in this dump (Wrigley Field) all the time.
