Comment | Your attitude is shared by a large portion of the UK, and this is what has ultimately led to the country's decline.
The idea that anyone can do any job and its only through luck someone earns what they earn.
What this misses is that jobs of a high level of pay aren't about someone filling a role or doing a task, they are about that person creating value. The general rule of thumb is that for someone to be earning £100k, they need to be generating £1m a year in business. Not carrying out £1m worth of work a year, but actually creating that value. There is not a role for someone else to fill. It's not a job with a limited number of spaces, it's simply Person A is able to create x amount of value and is therefore being paid y as a cut.
If that person leaves, there isn't a job for someone else to fill, because they were the person creating the value from which they drew their salary. |
