Davkaus Posted March 6, 2021 Share Posted March 6, 2021 (edited) Absolutely spot on, @markavfc40. I reckon a big portion of the electorate would rather earn a fiver knowing their neighbour gets £3 than them earn a tenner each.

chrisp65 Posted March 6, 2021 Share Posted March 6, 2021 My nearest equivalent colleague in work will openly say he would rather have £10 and me £9, than him £90 and me £100 Apparently its a ‘status and respect’ thing. I’m sure it’s completely unrelated, but he voted leave. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He insisted that he buy the smaller version of the desk in comparison to him and that I had a non leather office chair because he had a leather one. Both the larger desk and the leather chair are now mine. I even occupy his position in the office, which is now just my office. And the large flat screen TV (in effect a third PC monitor) is now under my control I hope he enjoys his new patio windows that he bought a month before he was made redundant, he can watch the world turning to shit through them, he voted for it after all 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was hoping for a far more sinister indication as to how the said office items were now yours 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From my experience the problem there is the lack of belief that your neighbour "earns" £10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although I’m saying twisted because I’m ranking money higher than status within a 30 person work environment. Personally, I’d be happier as the 29th richest millionaire in the office, than the number one guy in a poorly paid office. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's now been doing crap work 'consulting' for a few years while trying to use his girlfriends family money and land to get a development going with zero experience. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HanoiVillan Posted March 7, 2021 Share Posted March 7, 2021 Just toxic masculinity really. Not only would I be thrilled for my wife to earn loads of money, but she was actually my boss at one point! (after we were together, this is) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
