It's always intrigued me that the denizens at the top get paid top, top dollars because it's a global market and we have to get the very best, yet the position those top denizens take is we have to get the cheapest labour to do the actual work, or at least slash wages to as low as they possibly can.
Always though of a company consisting of three participants, with equal investment in a company's success, management, work force, investors. It seems management looks out for its own reward and shareholder returns, Boeing currently providing the proof of the pudding.
