People with Power
Yesterday, I was at my job (a restaurant) talking to the bartender who said he makes more money than all the managers there. He said he makes over 40% more money than they do, and that this ratio was not uncommon at all.
This made me ask, why are they managing rather than bartending? He said the answer was simple: they loved the power trip.
This made me think for a while. Ignoring any other reasons (for example, getting managerial experience so that they can make more money in a different restaurant later), why do you think people are willing to invest more time and make less money simply so that they can have control over others?
The problem I saw is that many managers I have known did not even exercise their power that much. They simply used it to get things done, not to empower themselves (then again, I could be misreading people).
Another question to ask is, out of every ordinary joe you find on the street, how many would be willing to sacrifice or suffer in order to position themselves in a place of power and let it go to their head?
