So we went to Atari and said, 'Hey, we've got this amazing thing, even built with some of your parts, and what do you think about funding us? Or we'll give it to you. We just want to do it. Pay our salary, we'll come work for you.' And they said, 'No.' So then we went to Hewlett-Packard, and they said, 'Hey, we don't need you. You haven't got through college yet.'

Dave Petso
We are taking care of her son. He will be getting same grade and salary as the other guy. I had to promote the other man first, as he had seniority and was much more qualified.

Developing a budget is one of the most powerful tools. One woman, earning a fairly decent salary, was left with almost nothing at the end of every week. When she checked her expenses, she found she was spending $600 a month on clothing. Most people, in fact, don't know where their money is going.
Joel Greenberg
Our challenge is to put them back to work at no less than 85 percent of their salary.
Clark Jacobs

Alfred Hitchcock
For these charities to attract and retain quality leaders, they need to pay them a reasonable salary. But I understand donor concerns. It's hard for them to reconcile the large salaries. But we tell donors to look at it in perspective of how the charity is doing. Are they meeting their goals? If you see a high CEO salary and an underperforming charity then, yes, it's better to steer clear.
Sandra Miniutti
They love their jobs, and they love the creative excitement that comes from working there. But when you're sharing an apartment in Queens with four other people because you're getting 3 to 4 percent annual raises on a $25,000 salary, it's not a great thing.
Laurence Kirshbaum
Twenty games is the magic figure for pitchers - .300 is the magic figures for batters. It pays off in salary and reputation. And those are the two things that keep a ballplayer in business.
Warren Spahn

Radio City Entertainment

Darryl Drake
He's a 24-year-old with a 50-year-old's knees. We made him a very nice offer … but there was no way we could come close to the money Danbury was offering and stay within the salary-cap guidelines.
David Franke
It's been said: 'How can a team have a manager making that kind of salary when our payroll is [so low]. ... It's the best money this organization's ever spent. He taught these young players how to win. He taught all of us how to win.
Chuck Lamar
This is a dispute that should never have happened. This is an irrational one. These pilots are the best paid in the country. Air Canada had offered them a 4.5 percent salary increase per year in a context where inflation stands 1.5 percent lower.
Jacques Kavafian
My own opinion is most bottling line supervisors cannot be paid a salary. My opinion is whether (production supervisors) are doing a lot of manual labor or a little manual labor these people need to be paid as hourly employees, they do not make managerial decisions.
James Geagan
It's a very good job hunting season. The average starting salary for accounting and finance majors is around $35,000, for business and management majors it's $36,000 and computer sciences majors top the charts at $46,000 average starting salaries.
Tim Mcdonough
We can trade sideways and downwards but not upwards. We are restricted with the salary cap, but it's a problem we knew was coming.

[Richard Bloch , an arbitrator based in Washington who worked on cases of NHL salary arbitration for a decade, said,] It's a good sign that they are meeting; we're all hoping there is a way out of it. ... I'm very much in favor of having these things done with attention to each other rather than public posturing. A lot gets done when it is done quietly and in good faith.
Richard Bloch
We are grateful for the support given by the governor and our Legislature for our salary increases. And we are confident this is the beginning of a renewal of support for higher education.
Tom Meredith
We just couldn't fit them (under the cap) salary-wise.
Al Gallagher
The I-A coordinator jobs, in the last four or five years, primarily in the upper echelons, have escalated greatly (in salary). On the other hand, it's not all about the money. It's about opportunity. I don't think whether the salary is the same as a coordinator or not should deter people from considering it.
Grant Teaff
They should go down as the greatest team in history because of the parity of the league and with all the salary caps and stuff.
Roger Craig
It's 38 percent of their final average salary, which in the United States today, puts us below Guam.
Pat Foerster

Sandra Smith
I told you what his salary was. Y'all act like I was telling you wrong.

Don Crosby
If they can save you a million a year or two, it will be worth the six-figure salary.

Peter Doust
Inflationary pressures are not relenting. The economy is doing really well. Salary hikes have been phenomenal.
Siddharth Mathur
(Salary) certainly is one point of dissatisfaction with teachers and although money is not why someone enters the profession, it is an issue. Teachers need to be able to pay their bills and support their families.
George Jackson
They're on a clerical pay scale, and Hall County does not take into account past experience when determining salary. Everyone gets paid the same. We had one nurse with 30 years' experience who took a job with Gwinnett County because they offered her $6,000 more.
Mamie Coker
It's not taking money out of your club pool, it's not taking money out of your club grant and it keeps the salary cap in check.
Brian Canavan
There's a salary cap in place and the offer's as big as I can make it.
Shane Richardson
We won't get to work on contracts for awhile, but contracts aren't that complicated for guys outside of the first round. Ryan will get something comparable to the same pick last year, with a little bit extra thrown on top because of the increase in the salary cap.
Steve Kauffman
This first year [under the league's salary cap economic system] we're going to see what we have.
Ted Leonsis

Rep. Dave Heaton
Some basic accounting fiscal areas that we would expect for $1 billion operation were just not up to what we would have expected. You would expect to go to personnel files to find salary information, and it wasn't there. In some cases, there wasn't a personnel file.
Bruce Myers
They're a lot of fun, and there's no expense spared. And the beautiful thing on this one? There's no salary cap on this, baby.
Brett Jones
It's still an issue for us. For some specialties, going elsewhere in the country could mean a salary 30 to 40 percent higher and buying a house that costs one-third as much.
Gary Greensweig
He's spending all this cash. He certainly didn't make it on a mayor's salary. He has to explain it from somewhere else, and poker winnings ain't gonna get it.
Bruce Harvey
It wouldn't be the worst thing in the world if we didn't have a salary cap.
Jerry Jones
I think it's unreasonable for a leader to get a raise when other things are being cut. The salary should be in line with what's going on there.
Aaron Gibson
(Statewide), the annual average wage and salary employment grew more than 46,000 jobs to a level nearly equal to the 2001 all-time high.
Rick Grice
The equation of super high salary and super low wrestling knowledge wouldn't compute so it's so long Stamford.
Stephanie Mcmahon
The daily rate is usually around $500 per day, ... The current salary is $87,000 annually.
Charles Dunn
It's really a cash and [salary] cap problem, ... You not only lose the player, and still have to pay him, but his salary still counts against the cap. That affects what you can do going forward in terms of putting together the rest of the roster.
John Gabriel
Home buyers must be absolutely sure they can afford the mortgage even if they lose the investment. You must ask: 'Can I afford this mortgage based on my salary or my income?' Just because the bank gave you bad advice and encouraged you do something foolish doesn't mean you should put yourself in that position.
John Vogel
Since 2001, annual increases have dropped from 4.72 to 3.64 percent. Barring any major economic changes, 2006 will mark the first year where salary increases are likely to climb.

I don't feel like we have the marketing package, ... We're going to have to look at starting salary.
Ricky Boren
I never dreamed my book was going to do what it's done, ... Hopefully I'll never have to take a salary from the church again. We plan to be good givers.
Joel Osteen
We might. The fact is, every team in the West is carrying a quarterback at the same (salary) level. It's the cost of doing business, so we have to find a way fit them all in.
Jim Hopson
I would like 20 players registered with a salary cap, a figure that each team agrees on.
Dave Whelan
We keep saying the sky is falling -- all the policymakers have ignored us. If we don't put a large infusion of money to raise that average salary to closer to 25th in the nation, then this is just going to get more gloom and doom.
Linda Nelson
The thing that would make the most sense is a two-day loss of salary for every one day they strike.
Timothy Allwein
This is not about finances. This is about conduct that violates his contractual obligations and his responsibilities as a major league baseball player. His alcohol-related conduct has been well demonstrated. If he clears waivers, we will terminate his contract. Our salary obligations to him will terminate.
Russell Smouse
It may mean that employers look at employees going out of the area and see if they can offer them salary and benefits to keep them at home.
David Hamilton
Appraisals are where you get together with your team leader and agree what an outstanding member of the team you are, how much your contribution has been valued, what massive potential you have and, in recognition of all this, would you mind having your salary halved.
Guy Browning
Their payroll is outrageous, it's disgusting. I will be the first to admit that baseball needs a salary cap.
Scott Hackett
Rate increases for lodgings are mostly a result of supply and demand, especially in major markets. Rising energy costs as well as salary and benefit costs are certainly having an impact on the hospitality industry.
Catherine L. Rossi
This is about positional adjustments so the salary scale is competitive.
Superintendent Donna Morelle
They risked their lives, ... You can't buy the kind of dedication that I saw down there from our folks for money -- for any amount of money. It's not about salary or about holding a job. It's about dedication to the program.
Mike Griffin
Fixed costs like salary, retirement, taxes, utilities, software, and general supplies are the brunt of the increases.
William Powell
It's the end of a saga that devalues the Gerry Robinson brand - it was greedy of him to want such a huge salary. We'll wait and see how well Flynn gets to grip with things as this has cost him a lot of time.
Stuart Fraser
I will have to pay 12 percent of my salary for six years.
Anja Thiessen
I think it's imperative that revenue sharing remains a part of this league. I think it'd be a sad day for this league if we blow this thing by going our own way. There are one or two owners gung ho about going their own way. But revenue sharing led to the collective bargaining agreement. It led to the salary cap. It's made us. It's sustained us.
Art Modell
You are going to make more, so it stands the reason you should pay more, ... Like most things, you pay for what you get and if you look at a student in the College of Engineering, they are looking at a higher starting salary than most.
Thomas Hill
Phased retirement is unlikely to be an option on final salary schemes.
Richard Harwood
Yes, salary is up there.
Thomas Mitchell
We always lived on John's salary, and whatever I earned was put aside for remodeling or for traveling. That's how we can afford to do this. We've been very conservative, lived very frugally. We were almost self-contained, raising our own fruits and vegetables and rabbits. About the only thing we bought was milk.
Theresa Mellott
Colleges and universities are really people-driven places. The bulk of the expense is in salary and benefits.
Travis Reindl
By and large, the average salary increases employers offered to new college graduates were respectable, and some were standouts.
Marilyn Mackes
There were a lot of complaints of people who were afraid to speak up that the coordinator, or the one that was organizing the campaign for BB, that it was being done during the company time. And I would like to see a detailed explanation of the time and the amount and who paid the salary of the coordinator back in those times.
Jaime Mercado
If you're a brain surgeon it's more like two weeks' salary. But if you're flipping burgers, spending two months' salary, you're not going to have a very happy girlfriend.
Chuck Kuba
I can?t see Geno leaving; they couldn?t even come close to matching his salary. I think people should reach for the sky, I don?t think there?s anything wrong with that. I think that?s a very smart move on behalf of Phoenix.
Nancy Lieberman
I have found that most vets are not into helping nonprofit organizations like this one unless they are getting a salary.
Cindy Weber
That's partly a legal issue. You have the labor marketplace, where people agreed to work for a particular salary, even if it was in violation of the court's mandate.
Gordon Macinnes
(Reverend Walter) McLean who came in 1927 often didn't take his salary. There just wasn't money for that.
Brent Ellis
I think that's in every player's mind. They call it the salary drive -- September.
Michael Cuddyer
The university isn't infinitely wealthy, but (the faculty-salary issue) just hasn't been a priority. Other things have mattered more.
David Weinstein
They not only have the money they make in salary but a piece of the action.
Skip Musgraves
Many mistakenly think that equates to a 6 percent salary increase.
Scott Berryessa
The basic salary will remain as it is for the present but will be brought down after a few tours if they are not performing. We will assess their performances after about three to four tours and increase the incentives accordingly. We have laid emphasis for winning matches and series.
Duleep Mendis
Each reviewer's salary is $100,000 at a rough estimate, so it could pay for a lot of reviewers. That's the biggest problem, the lack of people, and that's what creates the biggest time pressures.
Fran Hawthorne
Rate increases for lodgings are mostly a result of supply and demand, especially in major markets. For both lodgings and restaurants, rising energy costs as well as salary and benefit costs are certainly having an impact.
Pam Maiolo
In September of 2004, the board approved an incentive based increase in salary. Their salary increase is based on membership.
Tracy Hatmaker
They shouldn't have done that, approving (Hanson's salary).
Phil Hernandez
Both the national and Colorado labor markets have seen steady wage and salary growth over the last two years.
Rick Grice
When a guy goes on injured reserve, he does not count against the cap. So if a guy is making $700 a week and he's out for two weeks, and then you bring in a guy to replace him for $400 a week, you're actually saving $300 a week on the cap. You still pay (the first guy) his full salary; it just doesn't affect the cap.
Michael Franke
He is in a relatively decent position, with a good salary, not much debt apart from the mortgage and still under the age of 30.
Ben Yearsley
It was a little ring, something one might be able to afford on a student's salary.
Florence Dunn
It's one thing to save $50 million in salary and maybe forfeit a season. For a guy as competitive as Mr. Loria, it's almost impossible for me to think he would just concede for the foreseeable future.
Matt Sosnick
We are completely aware that the buying power of our salary has been diminished in the last decades, so we have to recover that power of the salary in Mexico.
Carlos Flores
The union requirements are that he remains on staff and continues to receive his salary until the issue is resolved, ... There is an appeals process for the employee.
Patrick Moore
We need to give him a salary that is commensurate with his work but not offensive to residents and voters.
Glenn Tucker
We'll be able to go business as usual. Some teams may not be able to do that because of their salary cap situation.
Jerry Angelo
If you were my agent and I was making $10 million a movie and made four movies a year, that means you have a salary of $4 million.
Peter Stormare
On a teacher's salary, no teacher could ever afford dependent care. Job number one (in the Legislature) is to repair education finance so we can pay salaries.
Vicky Rudy
They begin to see the difference between the immediate gratification of working and buying things now versus the delayed gratification of a better career option and higher salary.
Lisa Alexander
All of our teachers need to be paid a fair salary, and it was my hope that with some of the legislation introduced during the past sessions that they would have come up with a plan to increase salaries and an opportunity to fund them. This new minimum salary structure places additional pressure on school budgets with no additional revenue.
Scott Niven
We are going to discipline and it's going to be treated as an illegal strike, plus disciplinary measures, plus cut in salary for all the people who has left work.
Régis Boudreau
If players knowingly accept some form of back-hander, I don't care how good they are, we have to get rid of them. Some strong deterrents have to be put in place, otherwise forget the salary cap.
Graham Lowe
We may never see base salary increases in the mid-to-upper 4 percent range again.
Ken Abosch
This is not a good way to start 2006. The Co-op can be assured that we do not accept the closure of the final-salary scheme as a foregone conclusion. We see today's announcement as a first step in a consultation process.
Aaron Webb
Bishop Long has never received the legal amount of compensation he is due by law, ... How To Maximize Your Clergy Salary and Benefits Package.
David Epstein
For people who are low income, this is like your entire salary increase goes to energy and for those on fixed income, it's even worse.
Mark Wolfe
We've developed a number that all teams believe they are capable of putting a quality, competitive product on the field with and that's the biggest part of a salary-management system.
Tom Hellard
Moved into a luxurious apartment in the capital whose rent he could not possibly afford on his salary.
Miguel de Cervantes
Employees are asking, 'Where can I find my own advancement?' If that means changing companies, that's what they're doing. They're also looking for a work environment that has some flexibility. They're looking for a better salary and a supervisor who treats them with respect.
Gena Champagne
If City came back with the same figure as a basic salary I would advise him to sign it.
Willie Mckay
A good part of that would have been my salary.
Larry Porter
In years passed, maybe guys like me have been pushed out. If you're reasonable financially from a salary standpoint, maybe you can stick around. If you overprice yourself, maybe you can find yourself on the outside looking in.
Pete Walker
You have the third-fastest wage and salary gain in the nation over the past five years. As you know, the flip side of that is your housing costs are going up. Economics is not perfect.
Skip Rimer
I'll be happy to see him get it. Me and him are the top (offensive specialists) in the league. I'm always happy for him because we set the salary at our position. The more people start respecting offensive specialists, the better for me.
Siaha Burley
The economy is getting a bit better, but I don't think we can live without the black market yet. Until prices go down, the salary increases won't be felt, and there'll be no room for luxuries.
Jesus Blanco
We are proud we can give teachers the kind of salary we do.
Vickie Simmons
I am not at all in favor of a salary cap. I don't believe that will solve the problem.
Mike Ribeiro
I would argue the mayor's salary should go up the same as everyone else's. If the mayor wishes to tear up his check, that's one thing, but I think his salary ought to be the same as everyone else's.
Don Schmidt
Both class and race survive education, and neither should. What is education then? If it doesn't help a human being to recognize that humanity is humanity, what is it for? So you can make a bigger salary than other people?
Beah Richards
Our salary packages are fairly competitive.
Ramalinga Raju
For the first few years we paid all the bills first and divided what was left as salary, ... Sometimes that was $50 a week.
Alon Pinkas
It's similar to a salary advance. We want to enhance peoples livelihood and give them a chance... that's what micro-lending is all about.
Keisha Thomas
I challenge each member of the council to donate a month of their (council) salary to pay for the gifts.
Frank Coccho
I probably in the future should do a better job of letting them know salary. Unlike other states, it's not negotiable.
Patrick Simon
Workers making more than $100,000 in yearly salary.
Cynthia Morgan
They decided to break off the portion on salary because that part has already been decided. All the other items are still on the table.
Julie Ivey
We're very aware of what might happen. We know what sort of dollars they can throw and they don't have a salary cap issue.
Bruno Cullen
If an employee is 50 or older and their new job pays less than the old one, they are eligible for a salary supplement under the federal act.
Patin Howard
After I won the Oscar, my salary doubled, my friends tripled, my children became more popular at school, my butcher made a pass at me, and my maid hit me up for a raise.
Shirley Jones
The courts cannot garnish a father's salary, nor freeze his account, nor seize his property on behalf of his children, in our society. Apparently this is because a kid is not a car or a couch or a boat.
June Jordan
We had the press conference to show if one rejects the offer all rejects the offer and we stand by our decision that we want an increase in salary of $150 per month.
John Pinder
Mark always worked overtime when it was offered to him, but we always lived on his 40-hour-a-week salary.
Lori Gorney
You can make a move and sometimes triple and quadruple your salary.
Grant Teaff
It would seem that the salary range is out of line with what you would expect across the country, and Ontario, which is the largest securities commission, pays considerably less, ... It really seems to me that the salary here is too high.
Brian Mason
The county executive ought to make an example of this function and show that he is willing to save money where he can, given his rather outsized salary increase.
Kelly Jones
Some firms will not be able to compete with the salary hikes of the top-tier firms. We will see which firms are really in the premier league and which ones just think that they are.
Ward Bower
The NFL needs to fix the system so that having the first pick isn't so negative, ... The down side is great because the money is greater. You're getting handcuffed on the salary cap if the player isn't very good.
Aaron Schatz
The contingencies set out in the budget could be used to accommodate increases in wage and salary levels.
Fitz Jackson
I want to have a million by the time I'm 45, or more of course. But the only way I can achieve that is by either finding a higher paying, more challenging job or changing my investment portfolio. I am currently not where I should be, salary-wise.
Denise Vincent
I need you to establish the selection criteria, provide minimum qualification, salary range, number of candidates and approval of the application form.
Phillip White
I am not handing over the car until I have been paid all the money I am owed in several months' salary and test match fees amounting to a large sum of money.
Tatenda Taibu
We are completely opposed to it. If a salary cap was introduced in Australian rugby, you would immediately see a mass exodus of players to Europe and Japan, where the salaries on offer are far higher.
Tony Dempsey
I did not want to go back for any more loans. If that meant taking artists off salary, that's what I would do.
Ferne Caulker
Nobody on my staff is on salary. The money goes straight [to the charities].
Ferguson Jenkins
I hope salary isn't a bar to getting good people as candidates. I think that we will try to find the very best man or woman we can find and then try to work out the very best salary package we can work out.
Michael Gartner
This isn't about money for Jeff. Jeff is guaranteed his full salary regardless of what happens ? if he's deemed to be disabled or he's deemed to be able to play. It's not to him about the greediness, as some people seem to have asserted in some commentaries.
Barry Axelrod
Clubs who cannot afford a marquee player for a whole season can look at tying up a big-name guest player for up to four weeks without effecting the salary cap.
Matt Carroll
Really, the critical part to retaining teachers is a salary increase.
Pat Santeramo
It's just the business part of it with everybody moving around from year to year. You have the salary cap that hinders the process. But you gotta find a way to do it.
Ike Hilliard
It's intruding on the local collective bargaining process by enforcing a base salary that wasn't arrived at locally.
Dale Douglass
The superintendent asked for their new job descriptions to be evaluated in terms of their placement on the central office salary schedule. The review by the human resources department concluded that their salaries should be increased and the superintendent approved the changes for both individuals.
Deborah Long
My high salary for one season was forty-six thousand dollars and a Cadillac.
Duke Snider
There's no question that low salaries are affecting us. We manage to get some good people despite the salary levels because of our location, but that's not always the case.
Chris Hunter
The issue is going to be what is the impact on the salary schedule? Is the rest of the scale going to have to be adjusted correspondingly?
Dale Douglass
If there's going to be some change to the basis of our management of our salary cap and/or player remuneration ... well you'd want to be informed of that as soon as you can.
Peter Doust
Next year is going to be an entirely different case. The average salary for a major-league shortstop is not $1.35 million. Why should I play for that?
Royce Clayton
It will fund about 35 percent of an officer's salary.
Larry Jarrell
We had enough to eat, but on a schoolteacher's salary, we certainly didn't have all the luxuries. I learned that if you're going to make it, you have to have an education.
Etan Thomas
It's humanizing. The policeman is now seen as a citizen who needs a salary.
Emir Sader
A family relying on a teacher's salary or a city employee's salary is solidly middle class as long as that money's coming in. When it's cut off, they're committed to financial obligations that will quickly turn them upside down.
Elizabeth Warren
It's sick. We have some questions as to why he would be offered a salary like that.
