Recently there was research conducted by a leading compensation technology firm. They found as a fact that among employees planning to leave their companies,the majority felt that they were underpaid.Fewer than 20% 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 their employees lofty titles even thoug their job responsibilities have not increased.In time,employees feel they deserve more monies than their actual duties merit."When it comes to salary," Coleman says "ITS WHAT YOU DO, NOT WHAT YOU ARE CALLED,THAT COUNTS."
Its interesting to note 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 we are called,but what we do that counts.In substance,He humbly showed us how to serve and how to conquer pride. God Bless You
