If I don't get my bonus as was promised months ago, I'll be back out on the street selling myself for crack again like '04. I don't work for the enjoyment.

Oh yah, and more on topic - CEO and upper management compensation is a joke. These guys are employees, not owners - they take no risks. As far as the fiction that "the market sets the salaries", that's an even bigger joke - these guys sit on multiple boards of directors and its all a big ol' boys (and now girls) club - I bring you in at an outrageous salary today, and later on when you get the chance, you return the favour for me.

Fat happy *******s. I hate 'em, and not because they are rich (so spare me the envy talk), but because every big company I've worked for is infested with them, and most of them are self-important idiots who couldn't run a convenience store night shift if they didn't have their "networking" skills and briefcases full of bafflegab.

For a good look at how big companies are really run, pick up "Conspiracy of Fools", which is about the Enron debacle. Only difference between Enron and a lot of other big companies is that instead of being just greedy, the main players were stupidly greedy.
