Sharing the Wealth

As I write this, Nicole Devin is smarming up Dan Diebert over CEO pay. Because you know, the little guy works just as hard, blah blah blah.

And Dan says, not many people can do those jobs. Everything else flowing from Nicole's mouth is basically floof. She has absolutely no idea what is required to do the job of a CEO. It's not a matter of the little guy being perfectly happy where he's at and therefore should be paid whatever. If you've ever, ever been close enough to the performance of an executive, you'd question whether you could hack it for even half of a day. To say that the decisions that come your way and everything you'd have to consider while making them would make your head spin, is the understatement of the year. Finding the right person to fill a highly pivotal job is a critical decision. The economy could even depend upon it. Lives could depend upon it. Your own job - Nicole - depends upon having the right person in that office.

Easy? Not a matter of feeling like working that hard? You need some exposure, sweetheart. In the meantime, you can start with sharing at least 25k of that 50k winners' salary with me.
