Bonus question: how much would a company have to pay you for you to give 100% effort at work?
$175k.
$275k to full tilt. It wouldn’t be worth it because I’d quit in a year.
Sounds about right. I went full tilt for about 9 months, because I felt they were paying me enough for it. Recognized signs of burnout, switched to a less stressful role.
$275k to full tilt. It wouldn’t be worth it because I’d quit in a year.
$275k would set you for life? You’d be able to put up with a year, but not able to handle one more year and double your money?
Also $275k is only about $196k after federal taxes and FICA.
edit: fixed typo
FICA? FICO is for credit scores.
Thanks for catching my typo. Fixed now.
Np
I think they meant the burn out after a year of full tilt.
At least $100k with all the bullshit they put us through. 🙄
But if they got me to $80k—$90k, I’d be a quieter worker bee.
About tree fiddy.
I’d just like to keep what I earn, taxes are ridiculous.
How much do you make, and how much goes to taxes?
One MILLLLLION dollars.
If I take my pay in 1999 and adjust for inflation that’s about $70k, so that would be about fair probably. Two of those (two income family) is about what it would take to be comfortable here too. Very comfortable if no kids.
Eh, I’d be happy with $30 hourly. At 70 hours a week (line cook) I’d be making around $100k. I was making 87¢ an hour above minimum wage at the place I just left. I gave 100% anyway because if I didn’t the experience really sucked
My actual job - a little more than i make. Dealing with the BS - priceless.
I should get paid a lot less for typing on a keyboard all day, but oh well.
I think what I get is ok, because I adjust my effort to the payment.
I don’t think I could give 100% effort at work, that would burn me out in no time and that’s not worth any money.
A thousand dollars a day. I work hard to complete pain & exhaustion and people appreciate the service I provide and they request me and come back for more. And it completely wears me out body mind and soul. Now let’s factor in the cost of living. I feel my labor is worth $1,000 a day. I know that’s not too much to ask because there are plenty of miscreants out in the world who don’t work half as hard as I do but they earn a lot more.
So about $250k a year? That’s not unreasonable at all.
I am struggling with “fair” here. I’m pretty well paid for the public sector, but the private sector would offer a 50%+ increase with a noticable loss of stability. So I don’t know. I do think they should have promoted me years ago though .
Government workers deserve good wages as well.
I support a 75% salary increase in your current role.
I work at a bakery. I would love to earn my regular hourly wage and deep clean everything that gets a cursory daily scrub, but they’d need to staff an additional person that day or have me come in overnight.
We’re a comparatively clean bakery, but it’s just not possible to maintain an environment that’s perfect for yeast to grow without also making it a perfect environment for everything else to grow perfectly as well.
They pay me €15/hour which feels like more than I actually need or would expect for the work I do, but I’m trying to work on that. Obviously I contribute more than €15/hour if that’s what they pay me, it’s just almost double what I’ve earned at similar jobs in the US and 2/3 of what I earned there at an insurance company analyzing contracts, so it seems wild to get that for customer service.
I actually think I get paid a decent wage at ~$35/hr (CAD) but the cost of living is just so goddamn high where I live that it’s not quite enough to get me by comfortably. So really, if I were doing this job elsewhere then that’s fine, my job’s really not that hard. but realistically, because of the state of my province, I’d give them my 100% for 45. They seem pretty happy with the 75% I’m putting in now though (some days less).
Google says i should make ~$150k. The sheer scope and complexity of my work deserves far more in my opinion. That and stupid tax to deal with a major corporation. So, I’ll round up to an even $200k. Full effort… $300k.
