I posted this to Ronnie and of course he didn't answer...
Ah, it all comes down to money, doesn't it? If you wanted to make CEO money, you should have become a CEO. Surely, you knew going in that a millright makes less than a CEO. That didn't stop you then, did it? Do you want to be responsible to stockholders or a board that can say, sorry, we don't like you, YOU'RE FIRED. You wouldn't like that. I know your type. You are the guy that if someone asks them to work 2 minutes past quitting time, you're on the phone to the shop steward complaining about injuctices. I've been on the other side. I didn't like being a CEO (actually, in my case, a CFO). You lie awake at night, worrying about a contract that may get cancelled, or funding that may nnot happen, or competitors that are trying to eat your lunch. In my case, it causes ulcers I have to this day. You work 20 hours a day, for weeks on end at budget time, and you sweat every budget item, scared to death that something will happen to the price or availablity of some vital raw material that literally puts you out of business. You go ahead. You try that and then you complain to me about the injustice between the CEOs and the working man who has no worries beyond why he isn't paid as much as the CEO.
