Why does everyone begrudge teachers, dockworkers, mechanics, autoworkers, etc. when they make money yet ignore the officers and CEO's of companies that make millions even when the company loses money?

First, CEO pay is capped by legislation. Most of the notable compensation comes from performance pay....something teachers run away from.

Second, CEO's get fired when they do a bad job. Teachers can molest children and still remain on the payroll while an "investigation" takes place.

Third, CEO's exist at the whim of the stockholders and get thrown out even when times are good.

CEO's make millions of dollars because they are responsible for billions of dollars and the employment of thousands under them. Teachers have no responsibility to anything.

I've never known a teacher to wear a beeper or be on call 24/7.
