I had a client that was always struggling, financially. Always laying people off, always having to scrimp on office supplies and other necessities. Then the employees found out how much the owner made.
They were furious... Livid... Almost homicidal!!!
The owner was draining almost every last cent out of the business, getting a 6 figure salary, 'plus expenses!'. A few of the employees were so pissed, they quit. A few of them went to work for the competition. The business failed within a few years.
I remain of the idea that there is NO WAY that one person is worth that much money. Absolutely not. Unless they are using the vast majority of that money to help make a better world, it's just obscene...
I saw a talk by the Chamber of Commerce, in defense of those insane salaries, and they tried to link them back to 'sports stars'. 'You have to pay your stars enough to keep them on the job', they said without grinning, or laughing. Look at all of the totally incompetent CEOs of the corporate world that were making what Tim Apple is making, and hundreds of times more, and the deep holes many of them left as they were fired, quit, or slunk away after the bankruptcy.
I'm sorry, there is only so much that someone can spend in a year.
AND such hideous salaries help drive the cost of property and homes through the exosphere! Yeah, just say NO to huge salaries... Not to mention such insane salaries make the recipients have a 'god complex' and they start trying to control things they shouldn't have any say in above anyone else.
