Answer: When your brother is in a lower position, does less work, and makes $330,000.
Tales from the training camp: My university is a federal university, funded by the federal government. We are located in the Abu Dhabi emirate. Abu Dhabi is the one emirate of the seven with a lot of oil, hence it has a lot of money. Much more money, it would seem, than the federal government. The story I heard today is one I've heard many times before: Those who work for a federal institution are paid far less than those working for the Abu Dhabi emirate.
In the case above, the guy in the training session was not happy that his brother makes almost 3x as much money simply because he works for the Abu Dhabi emirate. He went on to make the point that he's accepted his fate but sees no reason to work extra hard at his job. Why should he work hard for a meager $130,000?
Obviously, the question is snark, but after living here for a couple of years I kinda understood his point.
