When those people assume responsibility for multimillion dollar projects, work 12 hour days (minimum--some run 20) far from home, for weeks back to back, and often in difficult conditions, until the project is done (whenever that will be), they we can discuss the question of their compensation being 'fair'.
In the meantime, I will continue to resent the implication that I in some way owe any share of the fruits of my labors to those who will not lift a finger other than to claim they 'deserve' a cut.
It is only the thought that some small fraction of the checks I cut annually to the US Treasury goes to those who work even longer hours in worse conditions (with their lives on the line) that makes it possible for me to sign those checks, especially when I consider that often the annual amounts of those checks exceed my total earnings for over half of the years I have worked.
