How do you know that's the case? And it's pretty clear the company is making enough money to cover it, so it makes sense that the people actually doing the work get to share in the rewards.

How do I know what is the case? The fact that anyone with functioning limbs could do his job? That comes from him and the job description he gave me.

Yeah I think you forgot about those factories which don't reside in the US.

There are lots of jobs like that where people are paid lots of money. I'm not buying your argument. Hell, most CEOs do a completely awful job, and still get to command much, much higher salaries. If you want to complain about people being overpaid, start with the executives.
