Moral Test

I guess we failed the test. Last week. Runner calls me in a panic.

"Will, I found Iret's pay stub in a legal pad i am using, do i look at it?"

"Runner, eh, whatever, i could prolly guess what she makes. Lets just let it sit there."

"Ok, but whats your guess"

(note numbers invented)

"60K"

"Yeah, same here."

-----2 hours later-------

Runner looked. He buckled. He called me. Asked if i wanted to know. I did. My guess was off. She makes 2x what we make. We are mad. Why? If we do as much work as her, are valued as high as her, do a bulk of her work, why are we not payed the same, or at least close to what she makes?

If i am forced to work in a dog eat dog world, then I should be paid accordingly. Runner and i both agreed. Good for Iret. No hard feelings. She is older. But TV station should pay those they value...and they dont pay us...but they need us.
