I came across this from a news service. It seemed worthy of posting, since the discussion has tended to compare sales to engineering to janitor. ;) It seems to pale in comparison with this... " A recent example was Robert Reich's opinion article in the Sept. 14 edition of the Wall Street Journal. [who is] professor of public policy at the University of California at Berkeley and former U.S. secretary of labor under President Bill Clinton. Reich noted that recent data show that the typical CEO of a Fortune 500 company earns an average of $10.8 million. This is more than 364 times the pay of an average employee. Forty years ago, Reich added, top CEOs earned 20 to 30 times what average workers earned.
