The law of work does seem utterly unfair-but there it is, and nothing can change it: the higher the pay in enjoyment the worker gets out of it, the higher shall be his pay in cash, too.
Be aware that the reward for labour, and quantity of labour, are quite disparate things.
The reality is that politicians, in terms of the amount of power they wield and the amount that they work, don't actually make that much money.
In the sense that people who produce things and work get rewarded, statistically. You don't get rewarded precisely for your effort, but in Russia you got rewarded for being alive, but not very well rewarded.
I reject the idea that any job is too hard or too dirty for American workers to do. American workers just expect and demand to be paid a decent wage.
I want to get paid for my services.
People believe that if they work, they should be paid a living wage…. Work has to pay.
I think all of us want to work and get paid what we are worth.
Think about it: What the busybodies are saying is that third parties like themselves -- who are paying nothing to anybody -- should be determining how much somebody else should be paying those who work for them.
I have not heard almost anybody suggest that raising the minimum wage to the level we have in Vermont has been an impediment to our economy which is doing reasonably well ... If somebody is going to work that person has got to receive at least a wage that they can go out and live with dignity on. That's an extremely important point.
Male chauvinism is . . . a shrewd method of extracting the maximum of work for the minimum of compensation.
There is nothing wrong with wanting pay for work, or seeking to maximize one's income, as long as one does not use means that are destructive.
I really believe people should be paid for the work that they do.
There should be a revenue stream that helps pay for the publication or for the work and helps pay the people who do it.
What someone is paid has little or no relationship to what their work is worth to society.
The only way the gender divide affected me was the social things the younger guy executives could do with their bosses. I don't know what went on in the clubs, because I didn't go. I made sure my work was stellar, and that compensated for whatever social time we weren't spending together.
Because people do different jobs. If they do the same job, they should get the same pay.
