More Salary means more risk to the job

A Corporate Systems of Salary

In a corporate world more salaries are offers to them who brings and create values to the organisation. 
Higher salaries are eventually awarded  to them who possess a unique skill, expertise, An a couple of years experience, An some companies gives hike based on your last drawn salary, However some may have the specific range and organized budget for the requirement they have for the relevant experience. 
but you cannot justify the thing that,  higher salaries often comes with higher expectations, Companies wants high earner's to deliver consitantly an unexceptional performance, They needs you to drive a more responsibilities and a significant result. 


Consitant Pressure from Manager for Perfomance 

One of the primary reasons is that also, Why higher salaries lead to insecurity in job is the immense and consistent pressure from management to the employee for his performance.
An employee with higher salary is continue to be in the surveillance of management to justify there compensation they earns. 
Any lacking in performance or if fails to meet benchmark set  target can lead to dissatifaction among the management and if you continue to do so,
 They will get you through PIP (Performance improvement plan) and if you still not meet your  target that can lead to Layoff for high-earning employee.
In addition a higher salary brings competitive work environment.
 Colleges may view high earner's as there competitive and try to outperform from them and take an advantage infront of manager's.
This is the reasons experts say do not disclose your salary to anyone. If you have high salary that can create jealousy among them and creates a stressful environment in your job. 

Cost-cutting-Steps 

During economic crisis, Recession, Period of financial instability or a Covid like situation organisation often takes the measure of cost-cutting to survival of there business and in that situation high earning employee's are most likely a prime target for them. To take the Cost cutting measures laying off an employee that earn's high is more cost effective than laying off saveral employee who earns low .This approach of viewing your employers as a expense rather than a asset to high earn employees can significantly effect your job security. 

Moreover Companies replace high earning salary employee to the young employee as more likely as freshers less experience staff who are willing to work for lower salary. This strategy allows companies for cost-cutting more effectively. 

Limited budget

Higher salaries most likely to vibrate companies  budget, especially in smaller scale companies and new age start ups. despite of these emplyees possess an unique  skill, There valueable experience. There higher compensation constraint companies to invest in other areas such as Technology, Marketing, R&D, Infrastructure, Operations, Maintainance etc. In such cases Companies try to reduced there work forces or opt to cut high salary employee to manage there resources effectively.

A Social Aspect 

An employees may feel that there package is already high so if we go in the market to ask for even more they are most likely to be feel denial from most of the companies. 
A social impact of higher salary on job security shouldn't be overlooked, High earner's often feel pressure from there instict and from society to maintain a standard, living hood and lifestyle. That leads them to bring stress, anxiety and sleeplessness among them if we lose our job we have nothing to do.
They may feel that they have more to lose reputation, professionalism and interms of financial instability

Work life balance:

An high earner's more often I have seen, They compramised with there work life balance and family time, As they work for longer hour's and takes more responsibility to justify there salary to there employer.
This imbalance of life often lead to affecting there physical and pyschological health. Over a period of time they may feel frustration can impact there job performance and increses insecurity on there job.

Skill developement and updation  

One of the major key to keep there job safe is to expand and updated there skillset time to time and stay udated with market trend. 
High earners should invest in joining new courses like online or offline udemy, great learning etc. or industrial confrence to stay updated and seek out new certification to get relevant in the field. 
By continueus demonstration and commitment towards growth  and learning, They can create values to the organisation and can do a let go from being replaced.
