ferris, if people want to earn double the money - then get out and work as a tradie. Don't sit here and complain all day every day. Medicals are a part of the gig. It's a known fact from day one that you could lose it in the future. Don't like it? Get out. What should been done? Pay us 10k 20k 50? more annually just because one day you might get lose the medical. Get serious.
You and others think your 'services' are worth more. Fine. Entitled to that opinion. My own opinion is I do not think we are worth more. I am appreciative and thankful. Simple. I am presenting my differing opinion to the endless complaining that is evident here and in the op's room.
I am so glad to be "immature" - when immature means I'm grateful, happy and content. Much better than being bitter and twisted like too many of my colleagues.
