A Paradox

[forsyth]

I don't get paid enough where I work, yet I am fairly certain that the actual benefit to society from me doing my job is considerably less than I am paid.

Riddle me that, Batman.

Easily. I get overpaid for my position, and I can prove that 80% of the work I'm handed is stuff that should have gone to other teams. So I spend four-fifths of my time saying "You've called the wrong number", "You've emailed the wrong address", and "Whatever the hell it is you're talking about, it ain't us that does it."

Can't see that being of major benefit to anyone, really.

I take it as a sign I really need a better job.
