This has nothing to do with "what everyone else is doing".
Why is it greedy for a corporate executive to be paid the same as other executives.... but not greedy for a driver or mechanic to want to have the same or better pay compared to their peers?
Maybe all UPSers (except part time people) should make less than they do... Drivers, Mechanics, Mangers, etc....
P-Man
That is apples and oranges and I think you know it.
I've seen data showing that in the 1979 the average CEO of a Fortune 500 company made approximately 40 times the salary of the front line worker within their company.
By 2003 this differential increased to 440 times the salary.
What can these executives be bringing to the table to justify this kind of disproportionate increase in compensation?
As an hourly, I have not realized even 5% in any one year.
Hence the apples and oranges.
Lower level managers have already given up a portion of their piece of the pie so our CEO can get his "fair market share".
Not to mention the beating the part timers continue to endure.
If not for the Teamsters I may not have maintained my share either.
Your persistent defense of this travesty makes me ponder whether you are in the inner circle of the "good old boys club".
