Your points are well taken. The problem I have is that even an executive is human. He has the very same 24 hours in any given day and I find it ludicrous and, again, I'll be redundant, sinful, when the top dogs make a salary that is many millions x what the worker makes. When you show me the human that can work an infinite number of hours and has an infinite brain, then I'll believe there is a humanbeing worth some of these salaries/bonuses/perks.

Maybe there is an occasional super-hero exec out there but I'm speaking in general. I guess one of the people I think was a big jerk was Jack Nasser and how he screwed up Ford and then took his Golden Parachute. Also, he then got hired into Polaroid and got a big, fat bonus there but 30+ year employees got screwed our of their pensions! You can believe that corporations are still a good thing and see the sin in a lot of what goes on. One doesn't have to toss the baby out with the bath water you know.

Thanks for your comments.

I have totally no use whatsoever for Lee Iacocca, but he was the last exec from this country that knew how to run a automaking company.

We are all workers dear heart.

The exec and the guy on the line both work.

Are you suggesting that we would be better served outsourcing our management jobs? After all, I'm sure that Chinese business majors will run our MNCs from Beijing for a mere fraction of what our 7 and 8 figure execs believe they are worth...
