       | this is a wage reduction.

       | how dare those slaves ask for money for work. they should just be
       | thrown enough food to reproduce and their offsprint to survive,
       | so as soon they die, their kids can start working in their place.

       | the 19th. things have never been better for rat race slaves heh.

       | Maybe not if you're at the executive level, where what counts as
       | work is much different than the rest of a company. But it's
       | generally hard to fuse say, time spent fixing bugs at a desk
       | alone, with the rest of life.

         | I'd be running from that company like in a Hana Barbera
         | cartoon.

       | I went to look up the CEO's compensation package in order to post
       | a low-effort snarky HN comment but instead found[1][2] very weird
       | compensation data for Wayfair execs. The co-founders (including
       | the CEO) make comparatively modest money, while the generic CxO
       | suits make huge gobs of it (mostly equity). Is this usual?
       | 
       | I'd still trade places with the CEO any day, though, of course.
