>obviously people running a $100 billion company are going to be high comped, and they are a highly highly successful group.

So you imply that there were no highly successful big companies in 1978?

I read your story, nice professional journey. It looks like you changed your career. I'm curious to know, beyond the influence of your father, what was your motivation to enter the cloud domain? By the way, what did you do before going into the cloud?

I mean people are welcome to be upset about how much top public company execs are paid. The data should simply be presented as such and clearly labeled. This is done to find the most extreme possible disparity without adequately highlighting the limitations of the data, all with the sole goal of outraging people rather than informing them. It’s incredibly misleading and unethical in my view.

I’m pretty sure that’s all in there.

These stats are specifically for the top 350 public companies in the US

Thanks. Would be interesting to see CEO and worker compensations in the same subset of companies and separate salary from stock options.

There's no day like today

Imagine if we all started growing our own food and quit working for just 1 week.

Finally, someone who makes one of these that can budget their money well

Really we should be doing what the French were doing about 230 years ago

I did. It went well

Thankfully she said yes haha

My company gave 4% cost of living plus 2% bonus to everybody (before merit increases, even). We're notoriously cheap, but that's more than I've seen them give in 16 years. I was pretty surprised.

That’s why I said it’s a mix of money in/money out AND supply/demand. It’s very cheap to replace a cashier

I made $6000 in 1978 and $154,000 last year. Doing better than the CEO’s - I am up 2,500% in the same timeframe.

I get that they're not intuitively a tech company, but my software team met with them to talk tech, and while they were not as advanced as my household name employer, my conversation with them convinced me that they have a large and competent tech arm. They have enough sophistication that I consider them to be a tech company.

That's the default angle most Russians are used to, used in most school books and official maps.

Noted Engagement Ring. Did you propose?

TIL the guy who put all the Hastings videos stores in my area out of business was Hastings.

The main ethnic group in China.

Excellent saving and investing this year. Well done. Also congrats on getting engaged! (I think?)

I think the consensus now is that the sanctions have failed. Turns out that Russia is self-sufficient in all the daily needs of its citizens, its businesses import/export via China and India for everything else, its banking system has proven to be bullet proof and its RBL credit markets look to be sufficiently liquid to finance the requirements of domestic commerce. As for wartime production causing inflation, turns out that having a state controlled MIC and mothballed soviet era production lines is a really good way to procure cheap weapons.

Great to meet another one! :-)
