    I would love to know the amazing, incredible ideas and decisions made that even come close to making any of the money he is making, taking, and spending worth it.

    It’s always incredible how easy it is for companies to pay insane amounts of money to everyone but the hard-working employees.

    The company I work for has been consolidating services, contracts, and vendors for several years now. I now see how absolutely out of control this stuff can get and the amount of wasted money that is just thrown at stuff. Yet paying your employees is still not allowed…

      It’s not that it’s not allowed but it’s not required. Labor market is very unequal in information on one hand, where it’s much harder for individuals to know what is their value for the business and how are they doing versus the peers. Then there is strong arming through credit obligations and work + commute time that effectively makes it very prohibitive for people to object.

      And so since you can exploit the people, most businesses will. That’s a very easy way to improve your business results.
