‘Salaryitis’ is when you become so accustomed to that salary that you no longer have the gumption to pull out of the rut and strike out on your own.

As everyone knows, tips constitute the bulk of a waiter’s or waitress’s income. But they are also optional, at least in theory. Does it really seem like a good idea to make someone’s salary so susceptible to customers’ whims on a given day – or whether any customers happen to show up at all?
How much is an hour of your time worth? It’s worth whatever wage you would get if you spent that hour working. If you work for an hourly rate, this is an easy calculation.

As I learned, like, each year, more and more, I face it as far as there’s always something. There’s always talk about something. Off the field or if it’s on the field, it’s age, it’s my salary. It’s always something, so I learned to kind of use that nowadays, it’s like motivation.
When women fight for a higher salary, they can often feel guilty. When men fight for more pay, they feel empowered. I’ve always wanted to encourage women to go after the money they deserve.
Let’s set things straight… there are 300 million people living in countries within the Nile basin in horrific economic and security conditions. The $500 that they earn in Israel every month is an annual salary in their countries of origin.
My mother hid the struggle from us children. She complained about her salary, and she had a tough time. Although she became a headmistress, she still had to do a lot of sewing.

My interest only is trying to help the lives of the people of this state, try to educate people and create jobs. It’s not even for me. I’ve never gained anything. I don’t even take a salary. I’ve never gained anything from being here except for the joy and the privilege of serving the people of this state.
The first law I passed in my cabinet was a law eliminating the double salary for the prime minister and the ministers. I have a salary as member of parliament. I don’t want a double salary. So it was a very important decision.
