Today everybody talking about the salary or the absence of it. There is practically no meeting, party or encounter between people in which do not touch this topic. The economy seems to always go from bad to worse. Each crisis we went out with less and less. Even when the crisis ends things never return to what they were. So if something is repeated much these days it is the lack of enough salary to live.

Companies have to lower wages for not going to the bankruptcy and the cost of living increases. I could go on for hours, but is not the point of this article: I think that you know far enough in this respect. I will always listen people saying that they paid the value of his work and that company well could pay them more for the benefits obtained. Many say this with great bitterness while they break a pencil or a paper wrinkle. The sweet irony of this is that these same people that speak of that companies do not give them their fair value are that more fight to other workers by lowering his salary. So, you’ll see everyone racing to the plumber, gardener, florist, craftsman by lowering its prices, charge less or do more for what you already gave them.

Probably is part of human being wanting to do more with less and trying to gain every transaction. And the reason is that the work is basically a cost. Of course, you think that your work is essential and that the world would stop if you leave to do so. Thinking that what you do is so important comes I think the fact that you do. What does the gardener or bricklayer, come on, that anyone can do it. However, this attitude is precisely that cannot tolerate in the companies. Small contradiction? Perhaps, but one that I have to endure at all meetings. Why not accept that the company does what you do? You basically get a dose of your own medicine. If you are of those who give what they really believe that something goes, this article is unfair to you. However, I think that few will be people who can say that. For the vast majority of the people, the work of others is a cost, although the own it is, shall we say, indispensable. Something to think about when you go to ask your next salary increase. I am author, primarily of Internet marketing, but I like to stay up to date and I have my mind on other things.
