Just finished the IQ/salary index test (http://money.guardian.co.uk/work/iqtest2/) over at The Guardian and it's official guys: I am not getting enough money for what I'm worth! Do you think I could make this clear to my employer by sending him attached screenshot?

It's official. Your IQ is significantly more powerful than the average for your salary bracket. Demand a pay rise while you still have your faculties.

What's kinda interesting is that in the highest salary bands, IQ appears to drop again.

I can attest to that. The managers at Linuxcare when I was there were making $250k/USD and working 4 days a week, mostly coming in at 10am/11am, logging in, taking an hour lunch and leaving at 4pm, spending most of the time in meetings or on the phone.

Disgusting, when you consider we were making 2-3x less than them, had to pay for our own parking, and were putting in 12-20 hour days, and of course, mandatory weekends to meet crazy deadlines agreed to by these same managers.

But at least we could bulk shop at the local Costco to save money.

I now work for a company run by grown-ups, so this is no longer an issue.

had to pay for our own parking
You actually had your own car? :D In Switzerland and Germany, most employees, unless from top management, take public transportation to work because they cannot afford the parking nor the high gas prices.

Public transportation in the US absolutely SUCKS.

The problem is that most places don't want trains or subways going through their towns, so they halt the work with city ordinances. So you end up taking a train through a few towns, hopping on a bus to go through another town, and then back on a train again (or a cab). Its really putrid.

There was a story that I read about how a town allowed a train station to be built in their town, and everyone started using public transportation... which is good. The town the realized that they were losing money because people weren't paying for city parking fees (parking meters) and a lot less cars were being towed, so they shut the train station down.

Excuse me, but WHAT THE HELL?! You build a train station to solve a transportation problem, and realize that you're not making enough anymore by towing cars, so you shut the station down? Sounds like a budgeting problem, not a transportation problem.

Sometimes I really want to shake the stupid right out of people.

Please don't get me started. It took 2 hours (with one transfer) to get from Pac Hts to the Richmond Dist (about 5km) on Tues evening and not a cab seen in Pac Hts. And when the public transit came it did not resemble bananas, it bunched like grapes.
