I would say I am very well paid, perhaps not overpaid, but well compensated.

My boss actually just told me I was highly paid for the job I do. I told him I was glad he did not say overpaid. And then he directly turned down my request for a raise.

Looking at the big picture and seeing what guys in my occupation make in other large cities, I'd say we are overpaid.

I was probably slightly overpaid when I took my current job 3 years ago; but considering I haven't had a single raise since then, I am now defintely underpaid.

Basing my response purely on the amount paid to lifeguards in southern california, I'd say I'm underpaid.

Based on those websites that list the average salary for my job, I'm underpaid.

I'm paid okay, it's taxes and expenses to do my job that are too high.

Underpaid, but the benefits help make up for it.

My company has imposed a wage freeze based on the ****ty economy, so I haven't had a raise in 3 years despite the fact that my responsibilities have increased considerably. But my industry hasn't really been adversely affected by the economic downturn and the company is recording record profits. So all things considered, I figure I'm currently underpaid. But I dont blame the company....I could go elsewhere if I wanted an increase bad enough.

I think I'm paid just about right for the duties and responsibilities that I hold.


However, I'm a federal employees so according to some in the media, I'm grossly overpaid.

Slightly overpaid.

Underpaid, almost certainly. I manage the region with the most work, and the other regions either deal with only two out of our three suppliers, or they have separate managers to handle each supplier.

At least they put me up in nice places when I have to travel.

What do you do?

I model Speedos.

I model Speedos.

Then you are severely overpaid.

No offense.

Now why would a football player from tOSU be posting on an OU website?

No offense.

But I model in nursing homes so, by comparison, I'm underpaid.

Depending on the workload, some days I feel overpaid and others underpaid. So I guess it averages out to properly paid.

For my job title I am overpaid. For the actual doodies that I perform...probably properly paid.
