Salary defines respect

David St. Lawrence has a blog, Ripples, that is chock full of good advice and interesting antecdotes. His post du jour is entitled "Get the salary you deserve."

It may be difficult for you to grasp this, but companies respect people in proportion to what they pay them. Actual performance is difficult to observe and is assumed to be proportionate to salary.

That rang especially true to me.
