Some people think that it is a good thing for senior management positions to have very high salaries compared to other workers of lower positions in the same company. To what extent do you agree?
Nowadays, there are countless jobs for
people
to choose from, and salaries are usually associated with the positions in the company. Some people
believe that people
who stand in higher positions should get better wages than normal staff
. I agree with that, and in this
essay, I will offer my opinion with examples in the following paragraphs.
There are several classes in an office, and each of them represents different levels, which means they have different job descriptions, responsibilities
, stress, and so on. First and foremost, because of taking responsibility for employees and doing more work
, high-position managers
need to put more effort into work
than junior staff
. In other words
, they need to handle multiple things from the team's policy decisions, employees' work
progress, team performance, etc, despite personal work
. Take my team manager as an example, she always needs to participate in lots of meetings with other teams, which not only takes her time but also
contributes to her working overtime. Furthermore
, on one occasion, an employee was too slow to complete his project; as a result
, my manager had to take over his work
and work
until midnight. Second,
standing in the high seat also
means tolerating stress, this
will keep growing with the incremental management responsibilities
, which can trigger pressure on mental health; therefore
, in comparison with a lower position staff
, I think high-position workers need to be paid more due to
their high-level responsibilities
and stress.
However
, in some instances, people
may think senior managers
always stand in their seats without doing anything, meaning they may only give an order rather than do practical things, leading to employees having relatively heavy workloads. Apart from that, in terms of skills, sometimes some workers may have more specific skills and understand more knowledge in some fields, compared to the managers
. That is
to say, owing to different professional levels, some people
may think work
with substantial performance makes more contributions. Although
there are some reasons why high-position staff
should not be paid high wages, I still think that they just do things that people
cannot see, and it is often difficult to define, which is truly a hard part for them; hence
they worth to get more paid.
In conclusion, in a company, there are various and complex duties, and each position has its own business and should take different responsibilities
. In my perspective, senior managers
getting high salaries makes sense because of high-pressure work
, and heavy workloads, so the high-paid salaries are needed.Submitted by Chloe on
