I was thinking about the whole corporate greed issue and you know, it's true. My company's C.E.O.'s salary went from three hundred thousand and something to one and half million in five years, 2003 to 2008. I think mine increased 25% in the same period, where the C.E.O.'s increased 400%. Nice work if you can get it, hey?

The result of conservative political policies.

In the last year, apparently, the company has retrenched a large number of staff, economic down turn and all. Despite the fact that they tell me that the company is still on budget. And I can bet you now, the C.E.O. will still get the 200K bonus that she always gets.
