It's like you work with people, and based on the size of the budget, you sometimes can't pay them what they deserve.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
What's the point of creating a budget if it's not possible to follow through?
When I want to do something badly enough, I do it, but there is a practical side of me that thinks I should be paid fairly.
Most people I know that have work that is very meaningful to them pay the price of having to work all the time.
What someone is paid has little or no relationship to what their work is worth to society.
There is a difficult leap between talking about balancing the budget and actually doing it.
A budget tells us what we can't afford, but it doesn't keep us from buying it.
Sometimes you have to make tough decisions to hold the line on spending.
The personality problem is so tough when you're not able to pay people. It's bad enough when you can pay people, but, when you have people working for free, often their motivation is diminished considerably.
And, we have no such thing as a budget anymore. Our manager freaks when we show him the bill. We're lavish to the bone, but all our money goes back into the product.
No matter how you look at it, one person cannot be evaluated and paid in isolation of budgets.
