Remember this next time you see some big executive talking about how he needs tax cuts because he can't afford to hire employees. In other words, no matter how much someone makes, it never occurs to them that if they would make their insane excess a little less they could afford it.
- gaius 16y agoI worked in investment banking for 5 years and I never saw anyone wearing a EUR 30k hat! Hell, Brioni or Kiton suits only come in at EUR 20k...
- loewenskind 16y agoHave you never heard an executive complain about workers being expensive while being compensated several million per year?
- cynicalkane 16y agoIf you're enough of a bigshot in a company large enough to pay you that kind of money, then yes, workers are expensive. Hundreds of workers are pricier than one executive.
- loewenskind 16y agoReally? 300 workers making $30k/year is less than $10 million.
- jimmyk 16y agoWell, the workers are being paid less than $10 million. But if they receive any sort of benefits then their cost to the employer goes up quite a bit. And you also have to factor in payroll taxes. The cost of a worker is not just his/her salary.
- loewenskind 16y agoTrue. And that goes for the executives as well, more so in fact (e.g. better health care plans and so on).
