In our culture we always strive for a "better" job. Better jobs pay more, and have more societal prestige and status. In our culture we associate better jobs with being managers. The higher up the management chain you are, the better job you have and the more important you are and the more money you get. (and more money is always better too). If you can make it to CEO you can make 1000x the lesser workers who do not have as good a job. Is that a valid cultural paradigm? Are management jobs always "better"? Should they get paid more because they are so much better and more desirable positions to have? Sometimes this attitude seems like a remnant of a feudal age where the management positions were held by nobility (our betters). Certainly some of the pay inequalities are now forming the basis for civil unrest. The craftsmen are the true heart of the companies production and IMO the rest of the team should be focused around supporting the craftsmen rather than the craftsmen focused on supporting the management. (regardless of your product) I think our culture is a little broken.
