Research conducted by a leading compensation technology firm found that among employees planning to leave their companies, a majority felt they were underpaid. Fewer than 20 percent of them, however, were receiving less than the industry standard for their duties.
Bill Coleman, of Salary.com, believes that many unhappy workers are overtitled rather than underpaid. Some companies give employees lofty titles even though their job responsibilities have not increased. In time, employees feel they deserve more money than their actual duties merit. When it comes to salary, Coleman says, its what you do, not what youre called, that counts.
Its interesting how Jesus dealt with the issue of titles and responsibilities. During the Last Supper, He performed the task of a lowly servant by washing His disciples feet, setting the stage for His astonishing statement about humility: You call Me Teacher and Lord, and you say well, for so I am. If I then, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also ought to wash one anothers feet (John 13:13-14).
Christ the Lord set the example for all who would follow Him, confirming that its not what were called, but what we do that counts.
Wonderful story about humility. Thank you Mr. Mayor and have a nice Labor Day to you and your family.
