Pay Me What I Am Worth - Very Subjective

Posted: Dec 13th, 2019 - 7:21 am In Reply to: It's because - binid

How much are we worth? That is very subjective and it’s difficult to get an answer. We get paid more and then want more, there doesn’t seem to be a ceiling on the “worth” of an MT. Some QA people might have inflated egos, as you say, but I worked as an MT and then in QA and that was more difficult. QA people probably don’t think they are being paid “what they are worth” either. My on site MT job went down the tubes because we all had this sense of entitlement and enough was never enough, they no longer could afford to pay us what we thought we were worth and sent the work overseas.
