We offered the CEO $550 million as a benefit. A gesture. A show of vision only a Super Board can have.

Instead, they treat it like a right. Like pay is something they're owed.

Some cash those checks. Some have it direct deposited. Different labels, same result, money leaves the company.

And that's when it hit me. If you really enjoy your job, why would you ever want to be paid for it?

Or am I the only one who sees it this way?
