Are you getting paid enough? Of course not. Well now you can prove it. Take this quiz in the guardian to find out if you're underpaid. Post your results in the comments.

Coefficient = 500

But, apparently, not high enough to be positive on how much more they should be paying me.

Who'd have guessed that 5e were underpaying me? Hmm, didn't realise just how much though :-)

Hmmm, I earn 25% of what I'm due. Does this mean I should be paid more, or just sacked for being a smartarse?

all you people who filled in the quiz at work should be sacked immediately, regardless of score ;->

the first lot of questions confused the hell out of me, so i guess mcdonalds are paying me just fine... but cal, i'm worried - two guardian links in a row? not turning into a pipe-and-slippers-by-the-fire kinda guy are you?

yeeesshh.... according to that, I'm getting about 1/3 of what I'm due.

heheh - do you reckon that quiz would help at all when asking the boss for a raise?

"...and WHY were you taking this test on company time?!!"

And I'd say to him: "Because my job is so friggin' boring I sit in a chair with my thumbs up my arse all day long!"
....as I'm politely escorted out the office with my belongings in a cardboard box.

heheh.

tempting.

two guardian links in a row!? all i can say is that i stole them. i don't actually visit the guardian site by choice.

Hey, yeah!

Or I could go blackmail him and threaten to tell the authorities that he offered to save my job if I'd give him a blowjob, unless he gave me a year's salary with all benefits included...


heheheh - movies give such good advice! =)
