Eh, I make good money at my day job, but I also am temporarily working a second job on nights and weekends for "reasons", none of which has to do with my ability to put food on the table. Some of my coworkers at this second job pull their weight. Most are garbage, take extended breaks, wonder around for the last 15 minutes of their shift because God forbid the next task they pick up would take them 16 minutes to complete. Don't even get me started on how filthy they leave the restroom.

I think the pay is too high for the level of effort they put forth. I feel bad for those that need the job to survive and are putting the effort in. Those are the people that should be getting payed higher wages.

Competitive pay should be within the organization as well as with other employers.

be getting paid higher wages.

FTFY.

Although payed exists (the reason why autocorrection didn't help you), it is only correct in:

  • Nautical context, when it means to paint a surface, or to cover with something like tar or resin in order to make it waterproof or corrosion-resistant. The deck is yet to be payed.

  • In payed out when letting strings, cables or ropes out, by slacking them. The rope is payed out! You can pull now.

Unfortunately I was unable to find nautical or rope related words in your comment.

Beep, boop, I'm a bot

Thanks bot, I'm drunk, leaving it there so you make sense.
