    • @thelogicaldanger
      @thelogicaldanger 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Yup, Dave is wrong. Yes, part of salary is what value a person can produce, the other part is how desirable is the actual job. An extremely desirable job, will have lots of people who want, therefor it will pay less. An extremely toxic or stressful job, will have few people who want to do it, therefore that job has to pay more. Bottom line, there is something about every job that nobody wants to do (or at least doesn't want to do all of the time), otherwise there would be people volunteering to do the job for free.

    "Why do we always think that to be happy we have to make less money?" Not everyone owns their own business that they love. For most people working is the worst part of their day. It makes sense that they think that WORKING LESS = MORE HAPPY TIME therefore LESS MONEY. Of course this doesn't take into account the long term view of things...

    The writer asked how to overcome the feeling and why he was having the resistance to the move. He knows he will be fine, but he doesn't understand why he feels its a bad move. 30-40k a year even when you make over 200k is still a big cut, and we have to keep in mind that he is being asked to take a job by his company that they value less, which is why he will be payed less. He's being offered a position where he does not produce as much value as he is now. The reason (at least one of) work brings joy is because we bring value to our communities. Being put in a less valuable position may be hurting how valuable he sees himself. At a certain point in life, its less about the number and more about knowing that you are doing a good job and increasing your value for yourself and your employer/community and shows growth as an individual

    I agree w Dave that you don’t have to take less money, necessarily. However, sometimes for the sake of not losing your mind and your health (cuz it ain’t worth it) you make the adjustments to take less pay with the plan that it’s ONLY TEMPORARY. While taking less pay for less stress you are also searching for or creating your path to get back to that original pay. And it may not come from the same basket, it may be from a side gig
