So GOM until you've walked in the shoes of an executive do not speak about what you do not know.
What makes you think that non-executives dont work their asses off? My father is a lowly trades person, has never belonged to a union, and has never worked less than a 60 hour week in his life. Does that mean he deserves a raise or bonus any more or less than your executive dad?
My executive Dad was also educated...was your Dad? I'm sure your dad received OT did he not? My Dad never received OT, he worked hard and long stressful hours.
Nope, he came to Canada with a trade school degree and unable to speak a word of English. He's earned a decent middle class income by virtue of his work ethic. He's also in the process I'm sure earned his employer many times over his wages over the last 30 years in profit. Does he deserve a raise or bonus any LESS than your senior exectuve dad by virtue of his job title and education level?
Well actually yes he deserves less. My Dad worked full time while attending U of M in the evening and on Saturdays. He also had a wife and 2 small children. He bettered himself so he could give us the kind of life he never had. Why would anyone go to University to make the same as someone who didn't? That sounds like Communism to me...
That's not the question I asked Goth. Obviously not every job is deserving of the same wages. I asked if he is any more or less deserving of a raise or bonus? Wages had nothing to do with the question.
