Favorite Work Phrase #4

"To whom much is given, much is required"

Variants- "That's why you make the big bucks", "That's why we pay you all that money"

Sometimes work is not fun at all. It is after all called "work" and not "fun time". Your employer pays you for a reason, and it's not to sit around and look cute (unless you're a model) or to hang out and chit chat (unless you're a talk show host). Often it involves boring meetings and dealing with unpleasant issues. The higher you are up the food chain (and the more money you make), the more of this "unfun" you'll likely get. Face it and get over it.

Note: It's not nearly as entertaining to be on the receiving end of this wisdom as it is to be the person imparting it.
