Firefighters in El Segundo, CA: Make $210k per year, still shoplift at costco.

Don't bother. It be empty. A union member found it and relieved you of your suffering.

 

Put the wallet down and stared and stared

 

We're talking about overcompensation & abuses within the public/private sector. Most of the corruption within the private sector goes on within large bureaucratic institutions. I am not talking about small business here.

This often happens in the private sector too. Pay raises for those at top, even when the company is having a bad year. Again, I am talking about high level executive pay. Look no further than the financial sector trashing the economy and rewarding themselves for it, to see the abuses going on.

If you're a high level executive usually you'll be buddy buddy with the board of directors. While you can be fired, to do so will usually require the board to agree you need to be fired, which isn't always easy. If you do get fired, in many cases you have a golden parachute to soften your fall.

Is this the experience of the majority of the private sector? Perhaps not, but it happens very often.

Really?

Again, we're talking about overcompensation & abuses. I've got nothing against small businesses.

 

Just like there is a single union that is paying a shoplifting firefighter, 210k a year. Does the majority of a sector have to be doing bad things to note that bad things happen in that sector? It doesn't matter if it's public or private, bad things happen in both. Which is why it's dumb to say "union junkies" expect to be paid big bucks so they can shoplift while on the job. Shall we say that all CEOs like to sit on their butts, drive companies into the ground while collecting fat paychecks... Some do. A lot don't.
