You are correct. I was using the term in relation to all of us here at HN critiquing the people mentioned in the article. Assuming none of us are employed by those companies, we are essentially peers in the industry. The boss/employee relationship is an interesting one as well. If the boss is a self made entrepreneur that built his/her company from scratch and lived by the skin of their pants for years, then I believe it should be their decision as to how much of every dollar coming into the company goes into their pockets. I would also assume that being successful from those beginnings would indicate that they are shrewd business people, and that they can figure out a ratio of boss/employee allotment that would be fair and also be beneficial for future company growth and reinvestment.
