And you have people making 6x less than you working at different jobs than yours. These kinds of complaints really lack perspective imo. Getting paid less at work is the same as over paying when buying something. Would you call it cringey if someone doesn't want to pay 30% more than all their neighbors for their house? They can "probably" afford it, can't they? Just be happy you have a house at all, right? What's a few dollars anyway?

What? I’m not the one complaining about comp. I’m in a peer group that’s highly paid yet still cries over compensation.
My point is that "highly paid" is relative and context matters.
Cool and I mentioned USA where I’m from. Idk if that’s not enough for you to piece together what I’m trying to say.
