Fair Compensation Quotes

To believe in the supernatural is not simply to believe that after living a successful, material, and fairly virtuous life here one will continue to exist in the best-possible substitute for this world, or that after living a starved and stunted life here one will be compensated with all the good things one has gone without: it is to believe that the supernatural is the greatest reality here and now.

Is this just a polite way of saying you need time to recover from my flat? I won't lie. It was fairly terrible. But there were some compensations. Like what? You. I stared at the word for a really long time. Remember this is fake. Remember this is fake. Remember this is fake.

The Other" She had too much so with a smile you took some. Of everything she had you had Absolutely nothing, so you took some. At first, just a little. Still she had so much she made you feel Your vacuum, which nature abhorred, So you took your fill, for nature's sake. Because her great luck made you feel unlucky You had redressed the balance, which meant Now you had some too, for yourself. As seemed only fair. Still her ambition Claimed the natural right to screw you up Like a crossed out page, lossed into a basket. Somebody, on behalf of the gods, Had to correct that hubris. A little touch of hatred steadied the nerves. Everything she had won, the happiness of it, You collected As your compensation For having lost. Which left her absolutely Nothing. Even her life was Trapped in the heap you took. She had nothing. Too late you saw what had happened. It made no difference that she was dead. Now that you had all she had ever had You had much too much. Only you Saw her smile, as she took some. At first, just a little.

Courage is the price that Life exacts for granting peace, The soul that knows it not, knows no release From little things; Knows not the livid loneliness of fear, Nor mountain heights where bitter joy can hear The sound of wings. How can Life grant us boon of living, compensate For dull grey ugliness and pregnant hate Unless we dare The soul's dominion? Each time we make a choice, we pay With courage to behold the restless day, And count it fair.

Why do you think the Divine is fair? In the long run, all wrongs are righted, every minus is balanced with a plus, the columns are totaled and the totals are found correct. But that’s in the long run. We must live in the short run, and matters are often unjust there. The compensating forces of the universe make all the accounts come out even, but they grind down the good as well as the wicked in the process.

He’s jealous because lions are better hunters.”--Monroe “Are you compensating for something, Monroe?” --Bastian

Here I was just thinking all these wonderful things about you and now you’re trying to strip down before we can have sex.” His hands casually held in the air, he explained, “I was hot.” “It’s seventy degrees in here.” His hands went to his cotton pants, thumbing the cinched band, preparing for a total strip down. Gawd, how I secretly wanted him to do it, but for some reason, the word stop came out of my mouth. At least I agreed with myself when I said, “That is so not fair.” Neither was the way the left side of his mouth curled up, smiling wickedly as his eyes swept across my body. “You’re right. Your ogling is making me uncomfortable. You should remove your top to compensate.

Life is short, nature is hostile, and man is ridiculous; but oddly enough most misfortunes have their compensations, and with a certain humour and a good deal of horse-sense one can make a fairly good job of what is after all a matter of very small consequence.

Tous les enfants essaient de compenser la séparation du sevrage par des conduites de séduction et de parade; on oblige le garçon à dépasser ce stade, on le délivre de son narcissisme en le fixant sur son pénis; tandis que la fillette est confirmée dans cette tendance à se faire objet qui est commune à tous les enfants.

When you think that the eyes of your childhood dried at the sight of a piece of gingerbread, and that a plum cake was a compensation for the agony of parting with your mamma and sisters, oh my friend and brother, you need not be too confident of your own fine feelings.

Pilfering was common in Communist China’s state-owned enterprises, as the Party secretaries were slack in guarding properties that belonged to the government and poorly paid workers felt it fair compensation for their low pay. The practice was so widespread that it was an open secret. The workers joked about it and called it "Communism," which in Chinese translation means "sharing property.

Do extremely difficult work. That seems obvious, right? If you do something that's valued but scarce because it's difficult, you're more likely to be in demand and to be compensated fairly for what you do. The implication is stunning, though: When designing a project or developing a skill, seek out the most difficult parts to master and contribute. If it's easy, it's not for you.

But this? This is not development. This is looting. If land is to be acquired, it must be done fairly. The people must be compensated, not only monetarily, but with jobs, with dignity, with a future. Not a Shunya future, a real future, a people’s future. Do you know what Shunya means? Nothing.

A wealthy CEO could justify his or her advantages to a lower paid worker on a factory floor as: "I am not worthier then you nor morally deserving of the privileged position I hold. My generous compensation package is simply an incentive necessary to induce me and others like me, to develop our talents for the benefit of all. It is not your fault that you lack the talent society needs, nor is it my doing that I have such talents in abundance. This is why some of my income is taxed away to help people like you. I do not morally deserve my superior pay and position, but I am entitled to them under fair rules of social cooperation, and remember, you and I would have agreed to these rules had we thought about the matter before we knew who would land on top and whom at the bottom. So please do not resent me, my privileges make you better off than you would otherwise be, the inequality you find galling is for your own good.

With every disaster, I have come to believe for my own personal reasons, comes a compensation, a certain balancing of the accounts - not spread evenly about but clumped here and there, of benefit to very few.

Courage is the price that life exacts for granting peace. The soul that knows it not, knows no release from little things; Knows not the livid loneliness of fear nor mountain heights, where bitter joy can hear the sound of wings. How can life grant us boon of living, compensate for dull grey ugliness and pregnant hate unless we dare the souls dominion? Each time we make a choice, we pay with courage to behold resistless day and count it fair.

By the woman’s make, her plant has to be out of service three days in the month and during a part of her pregnancy. These are times of discomfort, often of suffering. For fair and just compensation she has the high privilege of unlimited adultery all the other days of her life.

Sympathy and guilt, they note, operate within a circle of communal relationships.40 They are less likely to be felt in exchange or equality-matching relationships, the kind we have with acquaintances, neighbors, colleagues, associates, clients, and service providers. Exchange relationships are regulated by norms of fairness and are accompanied by emotions that are cordial rather than genuinely sympathetic. When we harm them or they harm us, we can explicitly negotiate the fines, refunds, and other forms of compensation that rectify the harm. When that is not possible, we reduce our distress by distancing ourselves from them or derogating them. The businesslike quid pro quo negotiations that can repair an exchange relationship are, we shall see, generally taboo in our communal relationships, and the option of severing a communal relationship comes with a high cost.41 So we repair our communal relationships with the messier but longer-lasting emotional glue of sympathy, guilt, and forgiveness.

The tired intellectual sums up the deformities and the vices of a world adrift. He does not act, he suffers; if he favors the notion of tolerance, he does not find in it the stimulant he needs. Tyranny furnishes that, as do the doctrines of which it is the outcome. If he is the first of its victims, he will not complain: only the strength that grinds him into the dust seduces him. To want to be free is to want to be oneself; but he is tired of being himself, of blazing a trail into uncertainty, of stumbling through truths. “Bind me with the chains of Illusion,” he sighs, even as he says farewell to the peregrinations of Knowledge. Thus he will fling himself, eyes closed, into any mythology which will assure him the protection and the peace of the yoke. Declining the honor of assuming his own anxieties, he will engage in enterprises from which he anticipates sensations he could not derive from himself, so that the excesses of his lassitude will confirm the tyrannies. Churches, ideologies, police—seek out their origin in the horror he feels for his own lucidity, rather than in the stupidity of the masses. This weakling transforms himself, in the name of a know-nothing utopia, into a gravedigger of the intellect; convinced of doing something useful, he prostitutes Pascal’s old “abêtissezvous,” the Solitary’s tragic device. A routed iconoclast, disillusioned with paradox and provocation, in search of impersonality and routine, half prostrated, ripe for the stereotype, the tired intellectual abdicates his singularity and rejoins the rabble. Nothing more to overturn, if not himself: the last idol to smash … His own debris lures him on. While he contemplates it, he shapes the idol of new gods or restores the old ones by baptizing them with new names. Unable to sustain the dignity of being fastidious, less and less inclined to winnow truths, he is content with those he is offered. By-product of his ego, he proceeds—a wrecker gone to seed—to crawl before the altars, or before what takes their place. In the temple or on the tribunal, his place is where there is singing, or shouting—no longer a chance to hear one’s own voice. A parody of belief? It matters little to him, since all he aspires to is to desist from himself. All his philosophy has concluded in a refrain, all his pride foundered on a Hosanna! Let us be fair: as things stand now, what else could he do? Europe’s charm, her originality resided in the acuity of her critical spirit, in her militant, aggressive skepticism; this skepticism has had its day. Hence the intellectual, frustrated in his doubts, seeks out the compensations of dogma. Having reached the confines of analysis, struck down by the void he discovers there, he turns on his heel and attempts to seize the first certainty to come along; but he lacks the naiveté to hold onto it; henceforth, a fanatic without convictions, he is no more than an ideologist, a hybrid thinker, such as we find in all transitional periods. Participating in two different styles, he is, by the form of his intelligence, a tributary of the one of the one which is vanishing, and by the ideas he defends, of the one which is appearing. To understand him better, let us imagine an Augustine half-converted, drifting and tacking, and borrowing from Christianity only its hatred of the ancient world. Are we not in a period symmetrical with the one which saw the birth of The City of God? It is difficult to conceive of a book more timely. Today as then, men’s minds need a simple truth, an answer which delivers them from their questions, a gospel, a tomb.

[O]ne macroeconomic study of the FairTax—a study that assumed that the employer’s share of the payroll tax is the only tax savings that will be used to lower prices—estimated that prices would rise by 24.8 percent but wages would increase by 27.4 percent, more than compensating for the increase in prices. By these calculations, disposable income is expected to increase by 1.7 percent.

How would we express in terms of the statistical theory the marvellous faculty of a living organism, by which it delays the decay into thermodynamical equilibrium (death)? We said before: ‘It feeds upon negative entropy’, attracting, as it were, a stream of negative entropy upon itself, to compensate the entropy increase it produces by living and thus to maintain itself on a stationary and fairly low entropy level.

The other day a little girl in the fifth grade put me in an awkward spot by stating: 'Is it fair that Jesus created seven sacraments and only six of them are available to women?' She was referring, obviously, to Holy Orders to which -- according to eternal tradition -- only males are admitted. What could I answer? After looking around, I said: "In this classroom I see boys and girls. You boys can ask: 'Is anyone among the males of the world the father of Jesus?' The boys' answer: 'No, because Saint Joseph was only the putative father.' But you girls" -- I went on -- "can ask: 'Was one of us women the mother of Jesus?' And the answer is: 'Yes.'" Then I said: "You are right, but think this over. If no woman can be pope or bishop or priest, this is compensated for a thousand times over by the divine maternity, which honors exceptionally both woman and motherhood." My little protester seemed convinced.

If the population is dissatisfied with the condition of society, then the leaders will invariably find a symbolic issue to channel the people’s focus away from any action that threatens the powerful. 'You’re poor? That’s a real shame. Well, look at that rich NFL player who won’t kneel for the national anthem! Doesn’t that disgust you? Aren’t you pissed off about that? Pay no attention to the system that keeps you in poverty, even though you work 40 hours a week and so does your spouse. Instead, focus on Colin Kaepernick not respecting our national theme song and refusing to grovel before our national rag! Don’t be disobedient in your own interest, instead turn on someone being disobedient in his own interest! That’s the American way!' Make no mistake, for the people upset at Colin Kaepernick and other NFL players taking a knee during the national anthem, that fight is a moral issue. They’re genuinely incensed that someone doesn’t show proper respect for the very same country that’s fucking them over, especially when it’s someone who has it better than them. 'What does he have to complain about? He makes 20 million a year! I’m stuck in a shitty job! Fuck him!' No. Fuck the corporation who doesn’t compensate you fairly for your shitty job. Fuck the country that lets them get away with it. And most of all, fuck you for being so easily distracted by symbols and pageantry that you don’t stop to take a look at who your real enemies are.

Insurance Adjuster Tom We have studied your case and we have decided the policy applies. That means you’re entitled to a settlement of $13,600. I see. How did you reach that figure? That’s how much we decided the car was worth. I understand, but what standard did you use to determine that amount? Do you know where I can buy a comparable car for that much? How much are you asking for? Whatever I’m entitled to under the policy. I found a secondhand car just about like it for $17,700. Adding the sales and excise tax, it would come to about $19,000. $19,000! That’s too much! I’m not asking for $19,000 or $18,000 or $20,000, but for fair compensation. Do you agree that it’s only fair I get enough to replace the car? OK, I’ll offer you $15,000. That’s the highest I can go. Company policy. How does the company figure that? Look, $15,000 is all you’ll get. Take it or leave it. $15,000 may be fair. I don’t know. I certainly understand your position if you’re bound by company policy. But unless you can state objectively why that amount is what I’m entitled to, I think I’ll do better in court. Why don’t we study the matter and talk again? Is Wednesday at eleven a good time to talk? . . .

En outre, puisque leur corps offre aux femmes la possibilité de porter un enfant, la Nature veut également que ce soit à elles de changer les couches de ladite ou dudit enfant après sa naissance, de prendre les rendez-vous chez le pédiatre et aussi, tant qu'on y est, de laver le sol de la cuisine, de faire les lessives et de penser à racheter du papier hygiénique pendant les vingt-cinq années qui suivent. Cela s'appelle l' "instinct maternel". Oui, la Nature commande très précisément cela, et pas, par exemple, que la société, pour les remercier d'assumer la plus grosse part dans la perpétuation de l'espèce, mette tout en œuvre pour compenser les inconvénients qui en découlent pour elles ; mais alors pas du tout. Si vous avez compris cela, c'est que vous avez mal écouté la Nature.

Many will argue that there is nothing morally wrong with sex work, and it should be legalized, protected, unionized, and fairly compensated for those who freely choose to seek employment in this sector of the economy. Sex work existed long before the advent of capitalism, it continued to varying degrees throughout the state socialist countries, and it will no doubt exist in some form well into the future. But overt sex work, as well as the subtler forms of commodified sexuality for sale, is the result of an economic system that provides little material security for women, and encourages all people to turn everything they have (their labor, their reputations, their emotions, their bodily fluids and ova, and so forth) into a product that can be sold on a market where prices are determined by the caprices of supply and demand. This form of amorous exchange is not sex positive empowerment for women, but a desperate attempt to survive in a world with few social safety nets.

Madge, her eldest sister, looked about forty, rather than thirty two. Her black dress drained her of colour; her shoulders had adopted their perpetual hunched position, which she had adopted to compensate for her height. As a child Madge had towered over her peers, stopping only when she reached five foot eleven. Lesley knew, without seeing them, that she would be wearing the usual flat shoes, the only footwear she would allow anywhere near her size eight feet. Sitting beside Madge, Pamela, her youngest sister, blonde hair flowing over her shoulders, was thankfully dressed fairly decorously in a black coat over a black pinstripe tunic dress with a high neckline. Remembering Pamela’s usual mode of dress, Lesley could only deduce that their mother must have prevailed upon her this time, in deference to the occasion. To her left Alan, at twenty four, the baby of the family, was talking in low tones to his girlfriend Erica, his fair hair and her dark locks forming a striking contrast. From Erica’s expression however, she guessed that Alan was currently on the receiving end of her infamous (and often malicious) acerbic wit.

He kept stealing glances at Celia that were filled with longing and perhaps desire. Jackson didn’t like that one bit. When he gave her his report he would emphasize the viscount’s utter unsuitability as a suitor. Devonmont’s, too. Lyons’s unsuitability was more murky. But Jackson could still make a case against the man, and he fully intended to do so as soon as he could get her alone. Preferably in a public area where what happened between them last night couldn’t occur again. Liar. You want to kiss her so badly you can taste it. It was a wonder he could shoot straight with her standing so near. She’d dressed to entice again today, this time in a heavy redingote the color of the forest. It turned her hazel eyes just green enough to remind him she was a Sharpe, with the same eyes as most of them. The expensive tailoring of her wool attire, a cross between a gown and a coat, reminded him she was a lady and an heiress, especially since she’d refrained from wearing her usual smock. He’d never seen her shoot and had assumed that her prowess must be exaggerated. It was not. He hadn’t been able to keep track of her kills while focusing on his own, but he was fairly certain the number came close to his. He noted her concentration, the care she took in aiming, the way she compensated for wind and other variables. He’d never met another woman like her. She was magnificent.

In any case the slave is nobler than his modern masters—the bourgeoisie. It is a sign of the inferiority of nineteenth century culture that the man of money should be the object of so much worship and envy. But these business men too are slaves, puppets of routine, victims of busy-ness; they have no time for new ideas; thinking is taboo among them, and the joys of the intellect are beyond their reach. Hence their restless and perpetual search for “happiness,” their great houses which are never homes, their vulgar luxury without taste, their picture-galleries of “originals,” with cost attached, their sensual amusements that dull rather than refresh or stimulate the mind. “Look at these superfluous! They acquire riches and become poorer thereby”; they accept all the restraints of aristocracy without its compensating access to the kingdom of the mind. “See how they climb, these swift apes! They climb over one another, and thus drag themselves into the mud and depths... The stench of shop-keepers, the wriggling of ambition, the evil breath.” There is no use in such men having wealth, for they cannot give it dignity by noble use, by the discriminating patronage of letters or the arts. “Only a man of intellect should hold property”; others think of property as an end in itself, and pursue it more and more recklessly,—look at “the present madness of nations, which desire above all to produce as much as possible, and to be as rich as possible.” At last man becomes a bird of prey: “they live in ambush for one another; they obtain things from each other by lying in wait. That is called by them good neighborliness... They seek the smallest profits out of every sort of rubbish.” “Today, mercantile morality is really nothing but a refinement on piratical morality—buying in the cheapest market and selling in the dearest.” And these men cry out for laissez-faire, to be let alone,—these very men who most need supervision and control.

Wilhelm, on deviendrait furieux de voir qu’il y ait des hommes incapables de goûter et de sentir le peu de biens qui ont encore quelque valeur sur la terre. Tu connais les noyers sous lesquels je me .suis assis avec Charlotte, à St…, chez le bon pasteur, ces magnifiques noyers, qui, Dieu le sait, me remplissaient toujours d’une joie calme et profonde. Quelle paix, quelle fraîcheur ils répandaient sur le presbytère ! Que les rameaux étaient majestueux ! Et le souvenir enfin des vénérables pasteurs qui les avaient plantés, tant d’années auparavant !… Le maître d’école nous a dit souvent le nom de l’un d’eux, qu’il avait appris de son grand-père. Ce fut sans doute un homme vertueux, et, sous ces arbres, sa mémoire me fut toujours sacrée. Eh bien, le maître d’école avait hier les larmes aux yeux, comme nous parlions ensemble de ce qu’on les avait abattus. Abattus ! j’en suis furieux, je pourrais tuer le chien qui a porté le premier coup de hache. Moi, qui serais capable de prendre le deuil, si, d’une couple d’arbres tels que ceux-là, qui auraient existé dans ma cour, l’un venait à mourir de vieillesse, il faut que je voie une chose pareille !… Cher Wilhelm, il y a cependant une compensation. Chose admirable que l’humanité ! Tout le village murmure, et j’espère que la femme du pasteur s’apercevra au beurre, aux œufs et autres marques d’amitié, de la blessure qu’elle a faite à sa paroisse. Car c’est elle, la femme du nouveau pasteur (notre vieux est mort), une personne sèche, maladive, qui fait bien de ne prendre au monde aucun intérêt, attendu que personne n’en prend à elle. Une folle, qui se pique d’être savante ; qui se mêle de l’étude du canon ; qui travaille énormément à la nouvelle réformation morale et critique du christianisme ; à qui les rêveries de Lavater font lever les épaules ; dont la santé est tout à fait délabrée, et qui ne goûte, par conséquent, aucune joie sur la terre de Dieu ! Une pareille créature était seule capable de faire abattre mes noyers. Vois-tu, je n’en reviens pas. Figure-toi que les feuilles tombées lui rendent la cour humide et malpropre ; les arbres interceptent le jour à madame, et, quand les noix sont mûres, les enfants y jettent des pierres, et cela lui donne sur les nerfs, la trouble dans ses profondes méditations, lorsqu’elle pèse et met en parallèle Kennikot, Semler et Michaëlis. Quand j’ai vu les gens du village, surtout les vieux, si mécontents, je leur ai dit : « Pourquoi l’avez-vous souffert ?— A la campagne, m’ontils répondu, quand le maire veut quelque chose, que peut-on /aire ? * Mais voici une bonne aventure. : le- pasteur espérait aussi tirer quelque avantage des caprices de sa femme, qui d’ordinaire ne rendent pas sa soupe plus grasse, et il croyait partager le produit avec le maire ; la chambre des domaines en fut avertie et dit : « A moi, s’il vous plaît ! » car elle avait d’anciennes prétentions sur la partie du presbytère où les arbres étaient plantés, et elle les a vendus aux enchères. Ils sont à bas ! Oh ! si j’étais prince, la femme du pasteur, le maire, la chambre des domaines, apprendraient…. Prince !… Eh ! si j’étais prince, que m’importeraient les arbres de mon pays ?

Les hommes, disais-je, se plaignent souvent de compter peu de beaux jours et beaucoup de mauvais, et il me semble que, la plupart du temps, c’est mal à propos. Si nous avions sans cesse le cœur ouvert pour jouir des biens que Dieu nous dispense chaque jour, nous aurions assez de force pour supporter le mal quand il vient. — Mais nous ne sommes pas les maîtres de notre humeur, dit la mère ; combien de choses dépendent de l’état du corps ! Quand on n’est pas bien, on est mal partout. » J’en tombai d’accord et j’ajoutai : « Eh bien, considérons la chose comme une maladie, et demandons-nous s’il n’y a point de remède. — C’est parler sagement, dit Charlotte : pour moi, j’estime que nous y pouvons beaucoup. Je le sais par expérience. Si quelque chose me contrarie et veut me chagriner, je cours au jardin et me promène, en chantant quelques contredanses : cela se passe aussitôt. — C’est ce que je voulais dire, repris-je à l’instant : il en est de la mauvaise humeur absolument comme de la paresse ; car c’est une sorte de paresse. Par notre nature, nous y sommes fort enclins, et cependant, si nous avons une fois la force de nous surmonter, le travail nous devient facile, et nous trouvons dans l’activité un véritable plaisir. » Frédérique était fort attentive, et le jeune homme m’objecta qu’on n’était pas maître de soi, et surtout qu’on ne pouvait commander à ses sentiments. « II s’agit ici, répliquai-je, d’un sentiment désagréable, dont chacun est bien aise de se délivrer, et personne ne sait jusqu’où ses forces s’étendent avant de les avoir essayées. Assurément, celui qui est malade consultera tous les médecins, et il ne refusera pas les traitements les plus pénibles, les potions les plus amères, pour recouvrer la santé désirée. [...] Vous avez appelé la mauvaise humeur un vice : cela me semble exagéré. — Nullement, lui répondis-je, si une chose avec laquelle on nuit à son prochain et à soi-même mérite ce nom. N’est-ce pas assez que nous ne puissions nous rendre heureux les uns les autres ? faut-il encore nous ravir mutuellement le plaisir que chacun peut quelquefois se procurer ? Et nommez-moi l’homme de mauvaise humeur, qui soit en même temps assez ferme pour la dissimuler, la supporter seul, sans troubler la joie autour de lui ! N’est-ce pas plutôt un secret déplaisir de notre propre indignité, un mécontentement de nous-mêmes, qui se lie toujours avec une envie aiguillonnée par une folle vanité ? Nous voyons heureux des gens qui ne nous doivent pas leur bonheur, et cela nous est insupportable. » Charlotte me sourit, en voyant avec quelle émotion je parlais, et une larme dans les yeux de Frédérique m’excita à continuer. « Malheur, m’écriai-je, à ceux qui se servent de l’empire qu’ils ont sur un cœur, pour lui ravir les joies innocentes dont il est lui-même la source ! Tous les présents, toutes les prévenances du monde, ne peuvent compenser un moment de joie spontanée, que nous empoisonne une envieuse importunité de notre tyran. [...] Si seulement on se disait chaque jour : Tu ne peux rien pour tes amis que respecter leurs plaisirs et augmenter leur bonheur en le goûtant avec eux. Peux-tu, quand le fond de leur être est tourmenté par une passion inquiète, brisé par la souffrance, leur verser une goutte de baume consolateur ?… Et, quand la dernière, la plus douloureuse maladie surprendra la personne que tu auras tourmentée dans la fleur de ses jours, qu’elle sera couchée dans la plus déplorable langueur, que son œil éteint regardera le ciel, que la sueur de la mort passera sur son front livide, et que, debout devant le lit, comme un condamné, dans le sentiment profond qu’avec tout ton pouvoir tu ne peux rien, l’angoisse te saisira jusqu’au fond de l’âme, à la pensée que tu donnerais tout au monde pour faire passer dans le sein de la créature mourante une goutte de rafraîchissement, une étincelle de courage !…

A Great rating means you want to give people outsized rewards because you want to compensate them fairly (they accomplished more than others!) and retain them. In general, I’ve found that group comprises roughly (very roughly) 15 percent of a team. As stated earlier, there are usually 1 to 5 percent of a population whose work is truly exceptional, whom you want to retain at all costs. Identifying these people is an important exercise, but there is no need to create a special rating for them. That leaves about 40 percent of your population getting an OK for Now and 40 percent getting a Good rating.

For example, when you’re nearing a deal and you’re looking to get one last concession without giving anything else in return, try saying something like this: Investor: “I have a feeling I’m going to regret accepting this deal— I’ve never been a good negotiator and you clearly do this a lot. Perhaps I should ask you to throw some free negotiating lessons in the deal! Okay, just so I don’t feel like you completely took advantage of me, how about if [insert your request here] and we’ve got a deal…” You’d be surprised how often that final request is accepted without protest, simply because your compliment was taken as fair compensation for that final concession you requested.

They are a sense of: Achievement. The person’s work is objectively measured against clear and fair goals that are directly tied to compensation and advancement. Being cared about. Conditions at work clearly demonstrate respect and concern for each person in the organization. Power. The company encourages individuality and autonomy consistent with agreed-upon standards and values. Everyone is expected to propose better ways of doing things. All suggestions, whatever their source, are taken seriously. Just about anyone who cares to can have a significant influence over how things are done. Ethics and values. Ethical standards must be clear, stringently enforced, and consistent. In recruiting, every effort is made to find people with similar values. Those who violate the standards are fired.

Do not negotiate compensation based on needs, fairness, living conditions, inflation, or even cost of living. Instead, negotiate based on the revenue you generate.

We’ll also adopt a fairly strict pay-for-performance model in which you get paid nothing in your bad years—no cheating, like guaranteed bonuses or repriced stock options allowed—but you receive a very generous bonus, say $10 million, in your good years. At first glance this arrangement seems fair—because you only get paid when you perform. But a second glance reveals that over the long run, the gains that you make for your employer are essentially canceled out by your losses; yet your compensation averages out at a very handsome $5 million per year.

Sandel argues that one cannot determine what is fair without also evaluating the moral status of competing claims. And that in turn requires us to resolve the moral purpose of social institutions. We cannot decide whether gay marriage is right or just, for example, without first deciding what the point of marriage is. We cannot determine whether a particular university’s admission criteria are fair or unfair until we have first determined what the purpose of a university is. And we cannot decide if the way bankers are compensated is appropriate without first establishing what it is that banking should accomplish for society. In this respect, Sandel’s view harks back to the ancient philosophy of Aristotle,

What are your strengths? How do you know that? What do you need to work on? How do you know that? How are you working on this area? Is your company helping? When was your last promotion? How was the promotion communicated to you? What is the one thing you believe you did to earn this promotion? When was your last compensation increase? (Compensation = base salary + bonus and/or stock.) Do you feel fairly compensated? If not, what would you consider fair compensation? What facts do you base that opinion on? Have you told this to your manager? When was the last time you received useful feedback from your manager? What compliment do you wish you could receive about your work? Are you learning from your manager? What was the last significant thing you learned from them? What was the last thing you built at work that you enjoyed? What was your last major failure at work? What’d you learn? Are you clear about the root causes of that failure? What was the last piece of feedback you received (from anyone) that substantially changed your working style?

[T]he creditor is given a kind of pleasure as repayment and compensation – the pleasure of being allowed to discharge his power on a powerless person … the delight in ‘de fair le mal pour le plaisir de le faire’ [doing wrong for the pleasure of it], the enjoyment of violation. This enjoyment is more highly prized the lower and baser the debtor stands in the social order, and it can easily seem to the creditor a delicious mouthful, even a foretaste of a higher rank. By means of the ‘punishment’ of the debtor, the creditor participates in a right belonging to the masters. … The compensation thus consist of a permission for and right to cruelty.

Imagine how free we could get if instead of femme labor being an unpaid, demanded mommy tap, we could be thanked and compensated for our work, and then kick back and put our feet up, smiling. Imagine if it was compensated and the labor conditions were fair-- maybe everyone would want to do it more. Imagine if we were not only respected for our care labor but also allowed to be more than our care labor. Imagine how much we could win if there was more than enough to go around.

Some people think that because its smoke point is fairly low, extra-virgin olive oil is not great for cooking. That isn’t true. It does have a low smoke point, but the polyphenols compensate for any damage caused to the oil when heated. Uncooked olive oil is especially beneficial to the body. So drizzle it generously

If time management is not simply an issue of numerical hours but of some people having more control over their time than others, then the most realistic and expansive version of time management has to be collective: It has to entail a different distribution of power and security. In the realm of policy, that would mean things that seem obviously related to time - for example, subsidized childcare, paid leave, better overtime laws, and 'fair workweek laws', which seek to make part-time employees' schedules more predictable and to compensate them when they are not. Less obviously related to time - but absolutely relevant to it - are campaigns for a higher minimum wage, a federal jobs guarantee, or universal basic income.

But whereas calls for reparations tend to focus on cash payments alone, fair equality of opportunity demands a much wider set of policies to dismantle the structures that perpetuate racial inequality today, from housing to education and employment. Although fair equality of opportunity is not the same as compensating for the racial injustices of the past, it would remove the socio-economic burdens that racial minorities continue to shoulder because of that history.

They all try damn hard to hide their disgust. Some manage better than others. As good as she is, though, like the rest of them, Constanza can’t stomach looking at my face, even in low light. I don’t mind the fact that the only reason my hookups remain with me for any length of time is for the extravagant trips and lavish gifts I shower them with. Unrivaled luxury—compensation for being subjected to having a beast at their side. It’s a fair compromise. Some chicks can tolerate it for longer. Most can’t.

You were sharing me with Richard, and he certainly wasn’t just dessert.” “Very true, but he also had ties to me. He is my wolf to call, and that is a different . . . relationship to me, to you, than some stranger.” “I know it was the ardeur, but damn, I’ve never . . .” “You are not a woman of casual lusts. No, ma petite, you are not. And I fear that this Nimir-Raj is no more casual than the rest of your lusts.” He looked so serious when he said it, solemn. “What do you mean?” “If you are truly his Nimir-Ra, then you will be drawn to him. There is no help for it. And truthfully, I cannot fault your taste. He is not as fair of face as our Richard, but he does have certain compensations.” The look on his face made me blush again. I turned to the sink and started brushing my teeth, and he took it as a dismissal. He went out laughing.

Text after text, scholars never tired of trying to compensate for sentencing women to eternal drudgery, which they themselves abhorred, by dreaming up fancy ways of labeling it, easing their consciences and allowing them to view their self-serving little world of men-gods as a fair, nay noble, thing.

Every year, in every state across the country, politicians and union reps make decisions that detrimentally affect teachers and the profession on a grand scale. They take away our benefits, freeze our pay, and decide they can no longer compensate us for the advanced degrees we have earned. They also continue to find ways to tie our evaluations to test scores, totally oblivious of the fact that we teachers cannot control when or if students show up in our classrooms regularly, if they have had proper rest and a nutritious breakfast, let alone if they are receptive to learning the content we work so hard to prepare and teach. It simply isn’t fair.

CSR should begin at home. In order that corporations may proclaim CSR, they should implement it on their own staff. Decent working conditions, coupled with fair compensations, career growth opportunities and training are all essential. 

I learned an important lesson—that the value of the stock is not the same as the underlying value of the company. The stock goes up and down according to the whims and wiles of Wall Street. The value of the company depends on elements that contribute to the creation of real value—things like providing superior products at fair prices. You need to be learning and innovating, giving your people interesting, motivating work and compensating them fairly, creating value for your community, and doing it all in a way that yields a good profit. That’s not what much of Wall Street values, but it’s what creates long-term value for investors.

Against justice (against J. Stuart Mill). I abhor the man's vulgarity when he says, "What is right for one man is fair for another; do unto others as you would have them do unto you." Such principles would found the whole of human relations on the basis of reciprocal services, so that every action would appear to be a kind of payment for something done for us. What is presupposed here is ignoble in the worst sense: it is presupposed that there is some sort of equivalence in value between my actions and yours; the most personal value of an action is simply annulled (that aspect of it which is incommensurable and uncompensable). This notion "reciprocity" is really quite vulgar. On the contrary, it is precisely the fundamental conviction — that what I do could not and should not be done by another; that there must be no compensation (except in the most select circles, among "my equals", inter pares); that in a profound sense we can never truly repay anyone, because we are unique and only do what is unique — which is the source of aristocratic isolation from the multitude, because the multitude believe in "equality" and consequently in compensability and "reciprocity".

Other data confirms this pattern, and perhaps there is no better illustration of how the average workers are losing out than the dramatic shift in the relationship between productivity growth and wage growth of nonsupervisory workers—the regular Americans we interviewed. Historically, up through the mid-1970s, there was an extremely tight relationship between productivity growth and wage-compensation growth. If workers were more productive, their pay went up proportionately, an outcome that spread the rewards of growth broadly, because economic growth and productivity growth are tightly coupled. For example, between 1948 and 1972, productivity grew 92 percent and wage compensation 88 percent—and they tracked each other closely each year. That meant that if workers produced more economic output for their employers, they were compensated with increased wages mirroring almost exactly the increase in output—fairness in the extreme. In 1972, however, that relationship broke up, and between 1972 and 2018, while productivity grew by 84 percent, growth in wage compensation barely budged, growing just 13 percent, or 0.25 percent per year for forty-six years (see figure I-2).

We pay higher than most similar companies in base pay, which is guaranteed and not subject to some management fad or poorly set goals. And we tend to give a little more stock equity as well, to compensate employees for the lack of bonus—with the side benefit of focusing employees on long-term versus short-term objectives. My belief has always been to pay people well, so they feel it’s fair, but don’t cloud things by believing that compensation is the great motivator, especially for creative roles.

Economists have developed a way to put a price tag on how much this costs workers. In 2018, the median annual compensation was $30,500. In a paper published that year, researchers estimated that in a perfectly competitive market, it would be closer to $41,000 and could be as high as $92,000. These are numbers to pause over: incomes rising by at least a third, just from making markets fair. But as big corporations have gotten bigger, buying up competitors or putting them out of business, workers have fewer and fewer options. Many are vastly underpaid and don’t even realize it. Do you know who does? The bosses and investors.[33]

How strong must love be to persist in the face of a powerful evil that has named it hate? How resolute must love be when its enemy uses the mass media to convince the world that it is hate? How courageous must love be to raise its banner and sound its trumpets in an age that would purge it—as hate. Of this we can be sure: at some point in the distant past, Whites were a single tribe, a single people. They were alone against a hostile world, a frosty star in the depths of an ancient darkness, ringed by the ferocity of the natural world, besieged by alien tribes and animal predators. But they were a people, together, united, and possessed by an indomitable spirit. Before us, the world’s darkness receded. Its nightmares withered in the light of our coming. Its monsters fled for the darkling holes that brooded in the shadows. We built civilization and in our victory over that which sought victory over us, we fell from grace. In our triumph, we turned to folly. We renounced our brotherhood and rejected our unity. As ungrateful children of our ancient sires, we turned to separate paths, following petty rulers who put their insignificant lives before the fundamental importance of our people, and in so doing we spilled our brothers’ blood. The darkness that we conquered is once again crawling from its thorny lairs, creeping across the world under many fair-seeming guises, now as cancers upon our civilization, now forming gangs and armies, now devouring us in our disunion. It was a song that called us from the darkness long ago, and once again that mysterious music is beckoning. We will reunite as a single people, a great ring that will circle the globe for our wellbeing, or we will perish, and the Western Light of the world will go with us. These people are my people, my nation, and even as I type, even as I ponder how today decides tomorrow a new spirit rises within us, a spirit that refuses to yield to those who seek our undoing. I have always loved our people, their heroism, their genius, their spirit, and though my heart is filled with concern for them, it sings now, it sings with the coming of the dawn. These are my people, and I love them. I was born for this; it is my destiny.

Platforms such as DoneGood and Buycott steer customers toward businesses fairly compensating their workers. The nonprofit organization B Lab certifies companies that meet high social and environmental standards, scoring on the basis of worker compensation and benefits, job flexibility, potential for worker ownership, and a host of other criteria.

Mon règne jusqu'ici a été trop heureux. Ni peste universelle, ni religion cruelle, pas même un coup d'Etat, bref, rien qui puisse vous faire passer à la postérité. C'est un peu pour cela, voyez-vous, que j'essaie de compenser la prudence du destin. Je veux dire... je ne sais pas si vous m'avez compris, enfin, c'est moi qui remplace la peste.

Now, it's fair to say, the majority of us don't want to be farmers, see farmers, pay farmers, or hear their complaints. Except as straw-chewing figures in children's books, we don't quite believe in them anymore. When we give it a thought, we mostly consider the food industry to be a thing rather than a person. We obligingly give 85 cents of our every food dollar to that thing, too--the processors, marketers, and transporters. And we complain about the high price of organic meats and vegetables thtat might send back more than three nickels per buck to the farmers: those actual humans putting seeds into the ground, harvesting, attending livestock births, standing in the fields at dawn casting their shadows upon our sustenance. There seems to be some reason we don't want to compensate or think about these hardworking people. In the grocery store checkout corral, we're more likely to learn which TV stars are secretly fornicating than to inquire as to the whereabouts of the people who grew the cucumbers and melons in our carts.

Treat people superbly and compensate them fairly.

Inequality may not be fair but is necessary for progress. When resources are distributed to people equally, you establish equality of outcome. If you photograph for a living or build rockets to colonize solar system - equality of outcome will establish the same value for both. It does not reward for resource-intensive and risky operations and discourages the development & progress because it's as valuable as photographing. Any reasonable person will do less complicated things if he is compensated in the same way. BUT, when resources are unequally distributed - it distributes values too. It means it systemically designs 'rich & poor' people. It means if you are poor, then you can become rich. To complete this transformation, you must do something valuable. In this way, minor and huge progress happens. No matter if you are rich or poor - you will need opportunities. It is the way we interact with opportunities constructs inequality.

VEBLEN HAD RISEN UP the ranks of the temp agency, and nowadays made eighteen dollars an hour, just enough for rent and food and a few small items of need. Keeping a low overhead was part of her mind-set. It made for an existence that was lean and challenging, like life on the frontier. She believed it was important to be fairly compensated for your time and work, but that it was also important not to earn a bunch of money just to play a predetermined role in the marketplace. When unforeseen expenses came up, such as when her 1982 Volvo 244 blew its head gasket, she discovered how vulnerable she was—and had to take a second job for a while, packing candles into boxes in a factory in Milpitas on the night shift. But for the most part, her life worked. She was getting better at Norwegian, and her translations came more easily. She’d accomplished things, hadn’t she? All kinds of things you couldn’t put on a résumé, such as deciphering the cryptic actions of family members, and taking care of them until the day they died.

Ask yourself the following questions one last time before you give your final answer: Do I fully understand the job and am I happy with what it entails? Will I be comfortable with the corporate culture? Will I be, as far as I can tell right now, compatible with my future coworkers and boss? Is the work environment one in which I will be happy? Is the location of the workplace acceptable? Will I be able to handle my commute? Do I understand the employer's expectations and will I be able to meet them? Does the employer understand my expectations and will he be able to meet them? Does the salary and other compensation seem fair to me? If not, will I be able to live with that? Will I have the opportunity for growth in this job? Do I believe I will be treated fairly by my new employer?

A significant lesson from Singapore's transformation lies in the value of competence-based leadership. Unlike numerous African countries, where leadership often stems from political favoritism or ethnic ties, Singapore emphasizes a public service grounded in strict recruitment criteria and performance benchmarks. Civil servants are chosen through competitive processes and receive fair compensation to deter corruption, ensuring decisions are driven by merit rather than political allegiance. This approach highlights the need for African nations to reconsider how leadership roles across government, business, and civil society are assigned. Establishing systems that prioritize merit, especially in public administration, can foster an environment where leadership is earned, not granted due to favoritism.

Copyleft, with its narrow emphasis on software freedom, even when broadened to underscore the freedom of speech implications of such a position, offers a limited political response to entrenched systems of economic privilege, and it does not advance limits on profitability or promote fair compensation.

It wasn’t until the so-called “Marginal Revolution” in the 1880s when three economists, working independently, all concluded that the value of a good is based on what people subjectively think a particular (or “marginal”) unit of that good is worth, which is exactly right. The amount of time or energy it takes to make something doesn’t really matter when it comes to determining its worth. This is tough to grasp, especially for the individuals or company that produced the good and want to sell it for a price that they think is “fair” compensation for their time and labor.

acknowledging the relative and emotive nature of ‘worth’, a fair wage is nothing but an economic and emotional threshold at which an individual no longer worries about immediate financial security. It is the point at which the focus shifts from the pay, to the work itself

You needn’t have come to Hampshire in such a hurry.” “The threat of lawyers and Chancery Court impressed me with the need for haste,” he said darkly. Perhaps her telegram had been a bit dramatic. “I wasn’t really going to bring layers into it. I only wanted to gain your attention.” His reply was soft. “You always have my attention.” Kathleen wasn’t certain how to take his meaning. Before she could ask, the latch of the bathroom door clicked. The wood panels trembled as someone began to push his way in. Kathleen’s eyes flew open. She wedged her hands against the door, her nerves stinging in horror. A violent splash erupted behind her as Devon leaped from the bathtub and flattened a hand on the door to keep it from opening farther. His other hand slid around her to cover her mouth. That was unnecessary--Kathleen couldn’t have made a sound to save her life. She quivered in every limb at the feel of the large, steaming male at her back. “Sir?” came the valet’s puzzled voice. “Confound it, have you forgotten how to knock?” Devon demanded. “Don’t burst into a room unless it’s to tell me that the house is on fire.” Distantly Kathleen wondered if she might swoon. She was fairly certain that Lady Berwick would have expected it of her in such circumstances. Unfortunately her mind remained intractably awake. She swayed, her balance uncertain, and his body automatically compensated, hard muscles flexing to support her. He was pressed all along her, hot water seeping through the back of her riding habit. With every breath, she dew in the scents of soap and heat. Her heart faltered between every beat, too weak, too fast. Dizzily she focused on the large hand braced against the door. His skin was faintly tawny, the kind that would brown easily in the sun. One of his knuckles was scraped and raw--from lifting the carriage wheel, she guessed. The nails were short and scrupulously clean, but ink stains lingered in faint shadows on the sides of two fingers. “I beg your pardon, my lord,” the valet said. With an overdone respect that hinted at sarcasm, he added, “I’ve never known you to be modest before.” “I’m an aristocrat now,” Devon said. “We prefer not to flaunt our assets.

Does Life care about fairness? Not one hoot. Does Life compensate? Never by design. Does Life keep score? How could it? There’s no scoreboard.

Consider James D. Sinegal, co-founder and CEO of Costco, a warehouse retailer. His salary in 2003 was $350,000, which is just about ten times what is earned by his top hourly employees and roughly double that of a typical Costco store manager. Costco also pays 92.5% of employee health-care costs. Sinegal could take a lot more goodies for himself, but has refused a bonus in profitable years because “we didn’t meet the standards that we had set for ourselves,” and he has sold only a modest percentage of his stock over the years. Even Costco’s compensation committee acknowledges that he is underpaid. Sinegal believes that by taking care of his people and staying close to them, they will provide better customer service, Costco will be more profitable, and everyone (including shareholders like himself) will win. Sinegal takes other steps to reduce the “power distance” between himself and other employees. He visits hundreds of Costco stores a year, constantly mixing with the employees as they work and asking questions about how he can make things better for them and Costco customers. Despite continuing skepticism from analysts about wasting money on labor costs, Costco’s earnings, profits, and stock price continue to rise. Treating employees fairly also helps the bottom line in other ways, as Costco’s “shrinkage rate” (theft by employees and customers) is only two-tenths of 1%; other retail chains suffer ten to fifteen times the amount. Sinegal just sees all this as good business because, when you are a CEO, “everybody is watching you every minute anyway. If they think the message you’re sending is phony, they are going to say, ‘Who does he think he is?

The expatriate mentality is a tough thing to explain easily. Any affluent or even middle-class American who renounces the good life of sushi delivery and 50-channel cable television to relocate permanently to some third-world hole usually has to be motivated by a highly destructive personality defect. Either that, or something about home creates psychological demons that in turn create the urge for radical escape. I’d moved overseas straight out of college and been a classic expatriate ever since. I had all the symptoms: periodic unsuccessful attempts to repatriate, a tendency to try to make grandiose foreign adventures compensate for a total inability to accumulate money; bad teeth; unhealthy personal relationships, etc. I’d been aware for years that my passion for uprooting and completely changing my lifestyle and even my career was like a drug addiction – not only did I get off on it, but I needed to do it fairly regularly just to keep from getting the shakes.

Pay unfairly: Your best people are better than you think, and worth more than you pay them In a misguided attempt to be “fair,” most companies design compensation systems that encourage the best performers and those with the most potential to quit.

Cette courbe est fondamentale, car elle permet de mieux comprendre le dialogue difficile qui caractérise parfois le débat public sur la mondialisation : certains s’émerveillent de la réduction des inégalités et de la pauvreté mondiales que permettrait la formidable croissance des pays les moins avancés, alors que d’autres se lamentent de la hausse massive des inégalités qu’entraîneraient inexorablement les excès de l’hypercapitalisme mondialisé. En réalité, l’un et l’autre discours ont chacun leur part de vérité : les inégalités ont diminué entre le bas et le milieu de la répartition mondiale des revenus, et elles ont augmenté entre le milieu et le haut de la distribution. Ces deux aspects de la mondialisation sont tout aussi réels l’un que l’autre, et la question n’est pas de nier l’un ou l’autre, mais bien plutôt de savoir comment faire pour conserver les bons aspects de la mondialisation tout en se débarrassant des mauvais. On notera au passage l’importance du langage, des catégories et du dispositif cognitif utilisé : si l’on décrivait les inégalités par un indicateur unique, comme le coefficient de Gini, alors on pourrait avoir l’illusion que rien ne change, précisément car l’on ne se donnerait pas les moyens de voir que les évolutions sont complexes et multidimensionnelles, et que l’on laisse plusieurs effets se mêler et se compenser au sein d’un indicateur unique. C’est pourquoi dans ce livre je n’aurai pas recours à ce type d’indicateur « synthétique ». Je prendrai toujours soin de décrire les inégalités et leur évolution en distinguant clairement les différents déciles et centiles de revenus et patrimoines concernés, et par conséquent les groupes sociaux en jeu.

Along with the promise to not institute layoffs, Pope also went on record as saying there would be no salary increases or year-end bonuses until the company got out of the woods. “I told everyone that we had to cut everything that could be cut without sacrificing the quality of our product. People want to know what the goal is and have it communicated in a very simple way. Communicate the mission honestly, fairly, and compassionately, get everyone on the same page, and people will do the right thing.” Pope says he didn’t receive one single complaint about the freeze on compensation.
