Another liars excuse: Jeff Garzik: "I don't speculate on the price. I don't calculate on the price. I just try to focus on the technology."

Pretty sure this one line can be applied to any aspect of life and used as great advice.
"I don't speculate on my wages. I don't calculate my wages. I just try to focus on doing the job."

This is wageslave logic at it's worst. If you're not calculating your wages, you're not checking to make sure your employer isn't ripping you off (spoiler: even when they're not ripping you off, they're still ripping you off, that's called profit margin).

Any self-respecting capitalist is always thinking about his/her cut and how to get a bigger slice of the pie. Top talent are often fighting tooth and nail for better salaries, there's a reason such negotiations are so often dramatic and ugly. Only those languishing at the bottom of the pyramid have the mentality of accepting whatever they can get.
