by old and rich i mean exactly what you described -- a person who works as a manager, is middle aged, and makes a healthy six figure salary. that's "rich" to most people. the ceo in a 20M mansion certainly qualifies also.
- Johnny555 10y agoA 6 figure salary in the Bay Area is not what most people would call "rich", in some areas you can qualify for subsidized housing with a 6 figure salary and a family of 4. And while I may be biased by being a decade older, "mid-forties" doesn't seem old for a senior manager. In any case, unless someone is truly wealthy, you can't say "Oh well they don't care about their job because they are rich", because they need that job, and if they are a poor manager, they'll lose that job.
- beachstartup 10y agoi'm from california and have lived in the bay. i'm not a podunk who doesn't know what a california salary looks like. we live in a wealth bubble, meaning even your 'lowly' six figure manager is still a rich guy to most people. my point stands, and i'm doubling down on it. go check out the rest of america and the world, and you might see what i mean.
- Johnny555 10y agoEveryone in the USA is rich to "most people", but context is important. A small to mid sized startup manager is not (usually) rich enough to not need his job or care about job performance.
