Do you earn "far too much for what you do"?

[jelly]

If you've been tacitly accused of this, can you provide me with a non-confrontational retort to the legions of ill-informed morons who don't see how much offence can be caused by saying that what I actually do for a living doesn't justify my salary? Experience reminds me that it's nearly always those who have a history of working for the public sector that level this kind of underhand accusation.

I work for a high street bank and in doing so I put in an excess of 60 hours a week.I put in the effort and overcame all the trepidation that comes with getting a degree and got myself a job immediately after leaving university. I may work for a bank where the majority shareholders are the taxpayer; but that doesn't give someone the right, regardless of how much tax they pay, the right to scold me for earning a six figure income. To have some lefty entitlement case - who nearly always earns significantly less than those in my position - cast unfounded doubt over whether what I do for a living justifies my wage is galling to say the least. I don't "earn too much". My value my is directly proportional to what my employers pay me. So suck it, losers. Not you charming folk of ED. Just the ignorant serfs who I look down upon. Bwahahahaha

Funny though.

I start each day by looking into the mirror and saying: "you're you, you're amazing, you deserve it" three times over. And then going for a seven-mile power-jog.

Works for me.

I have a sneaking suspicion that a lot of people earn far too much for pissing about on here all day.

Just an innocent rant. No harm intended.

@ Maxxi. Can you re-size that image? Otherwise it might crash the thread.

LEAVE THE IMAGE JUST AS IT IS.

Please crash it

So the EDF has a new member who is a Daily Mail reading, Roman Catholic, anti-liberal, bank apologist.

You couldn't make it up.

Oh, hang on...

OMG, next generation of banking idiots upon us.

ETA: This is how the banking crisis starts (with idiots).

Loser.

[Otta]

I mean, when do you spend your 6 figure income? Your life must be pretty fucking boring man.

I feel bad for you.

[Brendan]

It is pretty poor isn't it. 60 hours a week for less than 10k. Isn't there a law against that or something?

[Chippy Minton]

Why are you even conversing with the proles in the first place? They aren't even fit to look you in the eye let alone accuse you of anything!

Thanks for alerting me to hate you now

Yeah, I'm such a 'loser' that I own my own house and can afford to send my kids to a private school. Unlike some around here who struggle to pay the mortgage and hinder their kids from childhood by shoving them off to the local comp where they'll rub shoulder with all the free dinner cases whose parents don't take any interest in their education or how disruptive they are. Loser? Dream on.

I bet you all wish you shopped at Waitrose when you're fretting over the receipt from Iceland.

[jelly]

You should've been there when I drove past Harris Girls' school the other day. One young lady's PE kit looked like it's been in the family for generations. I pity the poor fool who's repaid with tales of drug dealing and gang violence after sending their daughter there.

Keep it up jelly, you're on the brink of being funny. You'll get there with some hard work.

Maybe 60 hours a week.

[jelly]

Don't the holes in your shoes need mending, or something?

[GSJ57]

Deleted, because it's really not worth it.

[Otta]

No, I'm a crocks man.

[Otta]

Seriously Jelly,why?

Because S/he is a troll.
