[TheForge] OT Union Rant (Was Re: concrete)

[theforge@mailman.qth.net]

The distance between 
corporate head salaries and the workers wages grows by the minute, 
somewhere there will be a breaking point, but when or how will be seen



This is a terrible argument. First of all to become a "corporate head" is the 
equivalent of becoming a professional football player. You have to put in 
long hours at much lower wages and basically sell out your life till you are in 
your mid thirties till you see any return on your efforts. You have to work 50, 
60 and 70 hour weeks with no overtime and in fact no extra pay at all! And 
you do this week in and week out, this is all on top of getting yourself through 
graduate school because no senior corporate officers are running around 
without an MBA. You then have to fight up a corporate ladder without any 
protections what ever, and you can be fired because you got on the wrong side of a 
showdown between rivals. With all of this you still have to show that you are 
something special to rise above your fellows, this is why corporate and worker 
sides do not understand eachother... they are alien to each other...
