OK, so now the "secret" is really out!! Yes, people have been taking home obscene amounts of money over the past few years. Really obscene, considering many of these "institutions" are now bankrupt and existing on a "corporate welfare check". Even the poor schmuck who takes home a mill, ($83,333. per month, $20,833. per week) a year can live very nicely even in New York. These guys are gracing themselves with $30 mill in salary, plus bonuses, plus stock oprions in some cases and "allow" the company to pay for anything else they can get their hands on. So, let's now do the math on a $10,000,000 per year guy (which is still relatively paltry compared to what the current crop of society's leaders feel they are worth) and that weighs in at $833,333. per month and a very healthy weekly paycheck of $192,307.!! Nice!! So, when we hear the "compensation" packages these guys put together for themselves (don't rain on my parade, and I won't rain on yours type thing) it really causes outrage and really builds a case for a discussion of criminality. Outsourcing is another form of hanky panky which put more money in the pockets of these executives. This is a great country and capitalism is the rule, but the dysfunctional business community has lined their pockets to the point of bulging while we now have to suffer through the agony of bringing our economy up to a level we can all function in. They just go on happily spending the ill-gotten gains of the past few years. I want to see more heads roll. I want clawbacks and a voluntary superfund created for these executives to kick in 10 or 20 mill each to help unemployed, foreclosed upon and broke Americans. How cute would the Peter Pan fund sound???

You'd think with all that money they could afford something to type their memos on.

This isn't all that surprising or hard to guesstimate. I would much rather see the salaries leaked for everyone on the top third of the editorial masthead of every CN and Hearst book. Those would be some fun comparisons.

This is bullet in the head day. This, after a post about feature-writing jobs for $10 a pop.

That's it, no more, I'm done. I want to get off now.

Haha, I love it when this shit happens. The other day, someone printed their salary offer letter to MY printer and didn't realize it. I was not happy about what I saw, but was amused at their mistake.

@fuzzywhat: I was sent an electronic copy of my offer letter that showed all the edits from the offer letter of other person recently hired in the same position, different city. VERY different salaries.
