nah mate, as long as I get paid what I'm worth, it's never bothered me what any of my colleagues were earning. I had that instilled in me very early on, to worry about me, my earnings, my situation, and not to over-concern myself with whatever, whoever, howmuchever, regarding anyone else.

Maybe it's because it was instilled in me at such a young working age that I can separate the two. Really it's no different to those who worry about if persons a, b, x, y and z are on far more than them. Pay me my worth, and I could give a fuck what someone else's situation is.

Of course that's moot these days, and if I'm honest I wouldn't dish out wages based on that and ignore the fact that less able people need to be on less not least to have something to strive for, but then again I realise my perception of things is very different to the normal way most people look at things

My opinion stands though that if everyone worried more about themselves than everyone else, they'd have a far easier time of it. Then again if we were all the same it'd be boring as fuck

To clarify that - as long as I'm not being underpaid, I could give a fuck if someone else is getting overpaid
