So here comes tne pay cuts and decreased happiness
They say money can’t buy happiness but it can certainly take away most of the problems causing strife.
Happily take 25% paycut if it meant having a new boss.
Don’t give the government ideas!!!
I mean, yeah, but we still have to be able to *afford* things.
I may even consider it if it gave me the chance at a job with progression outside of more responsibility for the same shit pay.
We’re fighting for a 10% *rise* because we’re so fucking unhappy.
Whoever wrote this is a idiot.
I find that study to be horseshite. If my pay got cut by 10%, I would be fucking furious as i’m a zero hour contract worker who is on NMW and going from earning the lowest possible wage to fuck all would decrease my happiness even more.
​
Is this the start of the workers are happier if they earn less, bullshit?
Money is like air, you don’t think about it until you don’t have it
Cool. Here’s a study that says money buys happiness.
Is that just spending 10% of your pay on Citalopram?
I would take a 10% paycut, if I had free travel, paid for work lunches, a smaller workload and worked 4 days a week with the same holiday allowance.
Oh and if I could afford a house on a smaller salary, because I can’t afford a house on my current salary
You could essentially achieve a ten percent paycut by upping taxes by ten perceny then using that money to fund things that make people feel better and make the country better, like healthcare, transport, police, education, etc…
I couldn’t even survive on 10% less. And I work nearly 50 fucking hours a week. What a life.
Really, who comes up with this nonsense? We have had nothing but, workers demanding fair wages from the Guardian for weeks, and now they give us this. Perhaps the people who did this study think you can be happy on fresh air.
