I see pay as compensation for your time and effort, I think labourers should be entitled to good pay. Like I said, I'm not asking to be paid more, just more than I do. The company is rich enough.

may as well just put EVERYONE on equal pay, then it's communism

But people who are actually cleverer and do things which others are incapable of don't deserve to be rewarded more?

All I ask, is a little fairness. For some reason, that boss who drives around in a fancy car and lives in a big house and his son gets all the same can't be fucked to listen nor care. Corruption my friend.

Yet labourers are expected to work even harder for this reason. WTF.

That's the problem, it is physically demanding and does more harm than good to your body if you don't get time off.

I've been behind a desk before, always got home with plenty of energy, no cuts or anything. When laboured, I was always worn out, marks all over and less pay. That's why I think it's perfectly fair to be paid more than we do. Not saying we should be paid more, just more than we do. At least desk workers still have energy at the end of the day.

I had 100% attendance one year and various nominations from staff members, yet no bonus. What the hell do I have to do to get one of those!?

People humour themselves by saying "I wonder who's doing all the work", but in reality don't give two shits as long as its done and cheaply

In this day and age who actually -works- anyway? Just about everyone has a deskjob

I agree Ace

It isn't fair that those same decision makers get all the bonuses while the rest of the workforce can get screwed for all they care

I just think those who do hard labour should be paid more. Not unreasonable. @ Aerzia, fine. STRIKE!

One stressful aspect of desk jobs is humouring your colleague's whining about the new diet or upcoming holiday. You want to jump out a building I swear

No... pay should be decided by the people with the power... which is the ones who sit behind the desk ;P

Depends on the nature of the work, one time I found moving 20t of cement very rewarding, while taking a call from a irate customer behind a desk was torture to say the least

Swings and roundabouts, my friend

I'd like to see you spend 8 hours a day thinking about ways you could disembowel your least favourite colleague without attracting the attentions of police, while simultaneously staring at a blinkering screen constantly, getting fatter and less motivated every day

I'd love to see them do back breaking work for once. Come home with ruined clothes, cuts all over your hands and arms and receive in-proper pay. Pay should be decided by work load, takes a lot of effort to move cement, takes very little to press buttons behind a desk,

Just another brick in the wall...
