Relativity

I'm not referring to Albert Einstein's profound theory, just the simple fact that EVERYTHING is relative.

We often grouse about the conditions/benefits of the company in which we work and it seems to be human (sadistic) nature to compare with the better ones only to make ourselves feel the whole world owes us something.

What WL told me made me wonder if anything could be worse. She and her colleagues realised that their petty claim fell short of $2. So thinking it was a mistake made by Accounts, they approached them only to be faced with a rude and disgusting shock that it was no mistake. It was deliberate deduction of the amount because they had used coloured printer to print out their claim for submission.

So where does comparison end?
