ok so let us do some math here. if AD is getting 40k, and the coo another 20k, those two are equivalent to 120 local employees (assuming 500/month salary) and this does not even include all the other allowances and cars, and all the other guys he still did not get that he will pay very high salaries. So no big difference between him and JH. Frankly, if you are trying to cut costs and show everyone that you are trying to make a profitable company, this is not the way to do it (esp if u are planning to cut 40% of your workforce). Looks like more money down the drain for GF. What's new?
