   Well: Where the BOSSES of companies going bankrupt are getting hugely   
   obscene pay-raises is pretty much SOP these days; and has been for   
   several decades now.  The people we work-with?  THEY get pay-cuts and   
   layoffs.   
      
   Also, you're giving pay-scales for *executives*, not "everyone you   
   work with".  Any time there are layoffs or pay-cuts, you know darned   
   good and well any executive is going to lay off those UNDER him, not   
   himself.   
      
   So ... The workers get fired or pay-cuts, while all of the executives   
   remain at the same salaries.  Guess who does all the REAL work?  Guess   
   who gets blamed for "lack of productivity" in the company?  Guess why   
   the business is going down the crapper?   
      
   "Too many chiefs; and not enough indians."   
   An age-old problem.
