You are on another one of your anti-capitalism rants again. Did you get laid off from a large corporation at the same time as Harry? What are you smoking, Wayne? Are you telling us that you actually had a successful career in corporate America that you've never told us about? Not likely in my opinion. The vitriol of you and your proxy spokespersons says it all. Early in my professional working career, I was a successful employee of a major American newspaper, the government, the largest wire service, a labor union and two advertising/PR agencies. In each case in those days, I left for better opportunities. What little respect I had for the "corporate world" dissipated during the 1980s. I found out that there was this thing called pay for performance in the 80's. You got paid for your performance. If you performed well you were paid well. If you were a lay about and didn't do your job you were fired. My pay increased so much during the 80's it was amazing. I can see why you were disillusioned Harry. My "pay" increased from the $50,000 salary I was making in 1976 as a senior account exec at a DC 4A's advertising agency to $155,000 in fees and commissions the next year as an independent marketing consultant. Of course, I had to pay both sides of Social Security taxes that year. I was disillusioned by the "corporate world" in the 1980s when greed became the only driving force behind many corporations. By then, I was 10 years off of steeenking corporate payrolls. Yeah, sure, more Harrylies. |
