How would you like a job offer somewhat like this
- guaranteed 5 year contract – you cannot be sacked
- first year wages $ 15.5 m, or $ 43000 every day
- automatic wage increases every year so that the fifth year wages is tripled at $ 48m. That’s a pay hike of 25% per year
- all these wages are irrespective of performance. Doesn’t matter at all how you perform
- you really have to work only 100 days in a year. The real work is only for 90 minutes in those days – but add and subtract getting ready for work, maybe 4 hours
- you are allowed to make money on the side. And the money you make on the side is going to be a multiple of your wages. So much so, that your wages is actually small change. That’s why its called wages; not salary !
- your cost to your company is $ 60m a year
- the government is very kindly helping you out by having a special tax rate of 25% to give you an incentive to come
- your employer is supposed to be a “non profit social trust”
And there is a not a pipsqueak in public outrage. No moralizing on fat cat parasites in the midst of the toiling masses. No sermon from pompous politicians. No “Pay Czar” to examine this package.
