    ...And other things.


    You need to be culturally aware before you make such ridiculous comments as yours.


    Average salary in Botswana is around £11k before tax. Renting an apartment is about 25% of the average UK price. Cost of living is about half that of the UK.
    …Maybe we ain’t that young anymore

      Haven't seen blood diamond with DiCaprio then?

      It's nothing about Botswana . It's about being happy for your boss to make millions whereas you get nothing or scraps.

        So, a machine operator gets £16k


        That buys a lot more than food.

          Blood diamonds are from Sierra Leone. (I didn't know that there was a film about them, I learned about them from books)


          You're right, it's nothing to do with Botswana.


          Please get an education before making more sweeping generalisations.

              I understood it fully. You are looking purely from a monetary point of view. You look at everything in terms of greed, not happiness.

                Happiness arises out of fulfilling your greed

                  If I had a dollar for every time someone used that cliché.
                  What happens in General, stays in General.
                  You know what they say about assumptions!

                      It's nothing about greed. My friend is working in 80 years old company. He gets no bonuses, on odd year he might get a 1-2% raise. During your day there are emails floating from management of all the stuff stakeholders getting, how to increase stakeholders dividends etc.
                      His department makes tulipload of money and he gets scraps.
                      Hes happy
                      I evacuated as soon as i could.

                      moral of this experience? I consider him a slave with no ambitions, no drive. Just a zombie, not questioning whats happening around him.
