make me wonder why EA aren't doing the same thing.
now, according to: http://people.forbes.com/profile/john-s-riccitiello/28819
the EA CEO took home $6,365,823.00 last year.
15% of that number is $954873.
if the average employee took home 20k per year, you could afford to keep 50 people on, right?
what if 3 executives took the same cut? some where in the region of 15 people kept on... you see where i'm going with this?
now to the brass tacks. people love money, they love power. but let's face it, after you've taken home 6 mil in ONE year, can you honestly say you'll ever want, or need for anything ever again? hell, Arnie (governor) gives his salery away to charity, saying he just doesn't need or want it. more people high up should really take a leaf out of the charitable books for a while. reinvest some of their money into their own company, and, the people who helped make them as rich as they are.

Description of a sociopath.
This by no means are all such. But it does take a certain cut throat attitude and history to get that far up the corporate executive ladder. Where the bottom line takes precedence over the foundation ideas of the company.
To them: Money is power. The more money, the more power. You are asking them to give up power. They cannot see any other way that all people want power, and when you say they should be paid less, that in fact, your after the power they have. You are jealous to them.
it just seems so strange to me, i'm forever spending my money on other people =/
