SALARY IS NOT ENOUGH

[Negotiation]

At present people's daily needs are increasing along with the cost of daily products is very high but the salary of an employee is not increasing at that rate so the salary is not enough to meet the demand. If there is another source of income besides the job the problems can be solved easily. If there is a lot of free time during the scheduled time of the organization then other work should be done with the permission of the organization. If they allow then additional income can be earned which will be very helpful for the family and can easily meet the daily needs.

It actually depends on how you see it. Working is not slavery. Everybody cannot be a business owner. Even if you have a skill, you'll still have to work for somebody. You see working for someone or company as slavery but I see it as selling your services. I'm whatever thing you do in this life, you have to sell something to make money. It could be your product, services, or idea. A slave doesn't get paid for his work.
What you can complain about is having small pay. When the pay and work environment is not good, then it's understandable, but when you're being paid for your services,

People think owing a business makes you free, but I think it's contrary to that. Owning a business makes you work even harder and that makes you a bigger slave to your business.  You work harder for your business than you will work for someone else's.

This is why it is important to upskill and acquire more assets while we're earning decently or save and invest. Find more hustles and jobs that can be worked partime.

Artificial intelligence is been integrated into diverse sectors. Some organizations prefer to employ people who can use AI tools to perform several tasks. It is faster and cheaper for the company. Setting out time to learn how to develop or use an AI progress might give one an edge in the labour market.

It has also been reported that Artificial intelligence is replacing humans in some areas. Many more people might lose their jobs due to this new tech technology.  Maybe one might consider diversifying to some areas where it will be difficult for AI to replace workers. World Economic Forum identified some of these areas in this blog: These are the jobs that AI can’t replace

Time and energy is a factor that determines if a person would be able to multitask on different jobs. Generally, it's strength consuming handling an enterprise while working for another company. Additionally, scaling a business is not simple, unless a VA is employed to help with marketing the products, the person's productivity in his main job may be affected. However, it's better to venture into affiliate marketing, and invest money on ads, such that while doing our job, we could come back home to see a few bucks we didn't put a lot of efforts on, also, scaling would be easier for such a business.

Relying only on a salary can feel limiting especially since wages don't keep up with the rise of living costs. Focusing on being self-reliant and learning skills to make money outside of your long-term job is a good idea but not everyone can easily transition to self-employment. Balancing job security with other income options is important too.

If your current position is not at the top, or just an ordinary employee especially in the third world, the salary will indeed not be enough to make ends meet, where the high inflation rate and slow economic turnover and government policies on minimum wages do not match the cost of the average citizen will make it even more difficult for you to survive and there is nothing you can save.

Side jobs are very important in this situation, and indeed AI technology is the biggest threat, because it will cut many jobs by default, companies will take low costs for their labor operations to increase their profits, having the ability to use AI will be the workers needed in the future, skills in this ability are likely to be needed, diversifying in jobs that cannot be replaced by AI is a good step but as AI grows it can be threatened too, you must remember that technological development is very fast.

In my opinion there are some countries which have strong economies and average salaries that allow workers to afford good food and take vacations with their families ( decent life), other countries struggle significantly to afford the minimum. In some places where an entire month's salary can vanish within the first week, mainly because of food expenses. The world is not equal or fair for everyone, it largely depends on where you are born.
I believe that becoming rich or staying poor is not a choice for all of us, as no one enjoys poverty or willingly chooses to not be wealthy. However, in some countries salary increases allowing people to invest and build wealth over time, while in others salaries are consistently reduced while the prices of goods and food continue to rise.

In our region, for example the average worker's salary is less than $300, while the prices of goods and food are nearly on first world countries. As a result, the average income can barely cover even one kilogram of red meat.
For many of us here, the solutions are either to work multiple jobs and live on the bare minimum or to consider immigration as a better choice.

Working in some companies in mostly developing nations is indeed slavery. In some of these organizations, workers go to work by 7 am and work till 8 pm, and at the end of the month, they are paid very low salaries. The reason for this kind of exploitation is lack of jobs, low implementation of wage policies and corruption.

Employers usually tell them that they can leave the job if they like and most of them don't have any options than to continue working because many unemployed people are willing to replace them. These workers don't have any opportunity to seek for other sources of revenue, so they keep running the rat race.

Well spoken, because is only those that work within some of the countries that is still trying to develop that always find it difficult to sustain themselves through salaries because even as the cost of living is very high the companies does not give a listening ear to that in terms of increasing there monthly salaries and employees are scared of talking because they can easily terminate his contract because there are even thousands of people who are even wishing to have that job, meanwhile for those developed countries employees are treated equally and they are paid hourly and the total hours they will spend on there daily work is 8 hours unless you decide to work more than that.

In conclusion I am of the view that working for an organization for salary which is not up to half of your productivity in the month is like you giving yourself for slavery and to me is one of the ways the modern world as modernized slavery to be.

You can’t blame the people going to work for companies that can’t provide in even equality to their basics needs. They need to show some empathy for the people, I mean the government should be held responsible for all this. For a common man, he’s just looking for a means to get a source to satisfy him and the family, they don’t mind feeding from hand to mouth.

The poor situation many poor countries are facing is as a result of the poor government inventories to help provide enough for the common citizens. When an individual with enough resources tend to find a way to provide for them, they chose to do it their own way and they’re not to be blamed in such circumstances. In a working economy, the government just need to put the rules down and all private sectors will abide and go with the rules of the government enact on them and the operations of their businesses.

Why did you think working for an organisation that can't give you enough money to meet up with what you need was a waste of time or being a slave to that organization? I don’t really know your reason, but regardless of the reason you may have about this, I don’t think it’s considerable to me. Many you see working in an organisation do it because they don’t have any other means of earning money to feed their family and other things that will make life better for them.

If you are in a country where getting a government job is one of the most difficult things you will experience after graduating from high school, I think if you see an offer for an organisation, you will collect it. Even if you have your handwork, only one job can not make things better for you, especially the way inflation has affected everything now, so you can’t blame someone for working in a low-paid industry; it’s not a choice, and many of them don’t have any other thing to do.

If they allow then additional income can be earned which will be very helpful for the family and can easily meet the daily needs.

Actually, the problem is not that salaries are no longer enough, but that the daily time remaining from work is not enough and does not allow for additional activities to diversify sources of income. There are those who have succeeded in finding a freelance job on the web, and they are a small percentage of the total approved workforce, but this indicates that employee options remain limited. There are some exceptions in sectors that provide comfortable and prestigious jobs, which allows employees to invest their time and talents well to earn more income, so that they do not rely on the salary as the only source of income. Other employees marry a partner who has a job with a fixed salary to help cover expenses. Others enter into partnerships without resorting to marriage.

There is a difference between the rate of increase in the prices of goods that will meet our needs and the rate of increase in salaries. The cost of needs is increasing and the income obtained cannot keep up with this increase. It is not easy to obtain another source of income, but those who can do it can solve many of their problems.

I agree with what you said about time because some jobs take a lot of time and it becomes difficult to find the time needed to find additional income. There are many jobs that provide additional income, but it is necessary to have the ability and knowledge to do these jobs. Not every job is the same and the time spent doing each job is not the same, so those who have time for additional income should evaluate these advantages.

With the current economic realities on ground it is suicidal for anyone to still depend on salary for survival as the monthly expenditure of the average individual is far above the monthly income of the ordinary citizen's
 With the economic problems of the world we find our self today waiting for a monthly salary is like you shortly your life Spam by two as you will continue to be a slave to your salary and work.
Off recent I have come to the realization that self reliance and acquiring a skill that will fetch you Money at every given point in time is the best and should be encouraged over going to work where you will be paid peanut at the end of the month.
In conclusion I am of the view that working for an organization for salary which is not up to half of your productivity in the month is like you giving yourself for slavery and to me is one of the ways the modern world as modernized slavery to be.

Is there something we can do? None.. Right? On the moment that we would finishing up college, then the main or first thing that we do have in mind on getting some job and would really be that trying out to have salary whether you would be already starting on planning on saving up for marriage or you would really be minding up on saving on buying those things that you do want since you are still single?. Theer's no way that we could be able to disrupt if we do speak about the cycle of life of a human being.It might really that sound that not appealing but there's no way that you wont considering on finding a job. If you do make out some in depth realizations theni we could really be able to say that this is how reality works. You would really be needing up to survive and there's no way that you would really be neglecting out on how to deal up with life.

If you wont work then you wont survive, if you would really be having plans on trying out to achieve something more then you would really be needing to enhance some skills or learn up on which
you do know that it could bring out that potential that you might be earning more. It would really be just that like. It will really be just that basing up into someones personal approach and goals
of a certain individual because each person does have their own thinking and considerations on how to deal up with things or situations.

In the modern world we need to constantly be evolving and adapting to the current environment. The job market is increasingly destabilized compared to previous decades, which had longer term and fairly well defined careers. Of course some of those still exist, like skilled trades people, police or teachers to name a few - but in the private sector there is a lot more variety. Lots of jobs are also getting squeezed by competition, so the leadership pushes from the top down trying to make people work harder while cutting back staffing levels. Take a look at the supermarket Aldi for example, where a worker might be expected to do all jobs when "traditional" supermarket workers would tend to stick to one area.

Before existence of online business people who is salary earners has been surviving with salary, even the business we do, I believe that we do sustain ourselves through small scale business, so what I'm saying, is that someone can depend on monthly depends the amount you are been paid in your place of work, secondly, your expense will been determined base on your income, consumption of feedings and your economic management ability, I have seen people who doesn't have any business to support their monthly earn, but they still survive.

[DubemIfedigbo001]

Salary being enough is dependent on the country involved, If the minimum wage of the country is feasible, then the salary earners don't have a problem. They can make ends meet with their already good salary structure. The problem arises from underdeveloped countries where salaries are not able to carry earners until their next salary pay, thereby leading them to seeking loans to be able to meet up with their living.

Loans and other financial institutions exploit these salary earners, leaving them with nothing for the months, and they have no other means of relieving themselves of such bondage. That alone validates the fact that salary earners should look out for other sources of income to complement their meager salaries.

Those workers with good working conditions and good salary structure can engage in other sources of income for diversification and not just for mere survival

According to this conclusion, do you suggest everyone to leave their job in any organization? You should understand that not everybody can have the same perspective, some of them have a dream to work in an organization since they are child, specifically in government organization. If you have reached a certain position on the organization, the salary is also quite interesting. People work in an organization don't only not receive basic salary, but also other additional salary.

We also must realize that some people can't work independently due to their limitations (ability, knowledge, or skills). We have different educational background, we can't generalize the condition of all people. In some cases, there are people who can't work more than 1 job, they only can focus on a single job.

In my opinion there are some countries which have strong economies and average salaries that allow workers to afford good food and take vacations with their families ( decent life), other countries struggle significantly to afford the minimum.

This is the thing in most developing nations. Their salaries at minimum can't even afford to pay rent, so they move to other countries where the quality of life even being a minimum wage is decent in developed nations. And as they live there, working as a minimum wager will still allow them to enjoy eating out, and travelling to the best places and beaches there. Because it will only take you a few hours or days of work for the expenditures of it. Even for the groceries, you'll have to take a day or several hours of work to get a week of supply. Compared to the developing nations, your entire week's salary is just for the bill and groceries and no more enjoyment.

Currently, the prices of goods are increasing in such a way that it becomes very tough to support the family with the salary received at the end of the month. Especially children's schooling, current bills, grocery bills, water bills, hand expenses, all in all there is nothing left at the end of the month. Currently, it is becoming very very tough for those who are working in the firm to support their families by making a living.

Well for some people like the rich they only do need to have a big salary. And they can live their life however they want to and not worry about their money.
But for the rest of the most people in this world they can live off salary if you are careful with spending. But now the economy does make it worse for people like us who are not rich and we must get by just not spending alot.
