[QUOTE="dannyboy, post: 818610, member: 484"] Numbers Now you are playing the numbers game, just like everyone accuses UPS doing. mis-using numbers to support your point of view, regardless of the honesty behind the numbers. The stock price went sky high right after the initial public offering sale, because of a lot of interest in owning UPS stock, and people trying to make a killing. What would be a better comparison would be to take the stock price 6-8 months after that, and then when you add for splits etc, the stock price now is doing very well. So he is creating wealth. Then take the UPS driver. There are very few jobs in the private sector that pay as well as a UPS driver. You will find that Registered nurses are paid almost as well as drivers. In many cases, a lot less, by 30%. And they have a degree. So for what you bring to the table, you are very well paid for what you do, in comparison to many other jobs that make far less. So if you want to compare your job to Scotts job, and what people with similar jobs and backgrounds make, he is still a bargain, where as the ups driver, not so much a bargain. This is not to say you are not worth what you are paid, it is just comparing apples to apples, and not apples to watermelon. d [/QUOTE]
