Competence is a trap...
Handle one crisis well and you'll be handed every other crisis after that,
at work and at home, for the rest of your life...

Meanwhile the useless are left in peace...
Cause nobody hands a damn thing to the person who always drops it...

Exactly, though I say it differently. "if you do something right the first time, then you'll have to do it again...and again...and again."

"If you do it once, it becomes your job, and your responsibility."

"If you do it once, it becomes your job, and your responsibility."

But of course, ...without the salary increase.

You forgot: "For the same pay"

Sometimes for less pay....

Yeah, that's a real thing. Pay cut vs job cut.

Who said anything about getting paid?

 

[jdmccright]

All of a sudden, I'm not feeling so good about my impending "retirement"...

Well, the word salary originates from the Latin salarium (pertaining to salt)...
So it may have either been an allowance to Roman soldiers to purchase salt, or they have been actually paid with salt rations...
Regardless has salarium defined as form of work-for-hire ever since... even lead to expressions as "being worth one's salt"...

Here in Vienna (we always have a rather morbid point of view) we call a payslip just "onion leaf"... bringing you to tears and that...

The word salary comes from the mispronunciation of the word celery, from people who were paid for their work at plants .
It's also why money was green. It's also why you took stalk of your wealth.

Wow!
A punny FOUR-fer-one.
@Obo is in a rare "for(-u)m" today. What a deal.
