When I had 20+ people working for me and made 3x what I make here, I never got away from my job. I can only imagine the lack of any real type of private life BH has because of the thousands of people and millions of dollars he is responsible for. Again, not arguing for or against. I'm just pointing out that the whole story is quite different.
I understand the responsibilities of management and how at certain times, the work will be ongoing. I am not arguing that he shouldn't make that much since that is not my decision to make. My only problem is that the same person is asking for concessions.
This is not to boast but to show an example. At my previous position in management, I was in charge of 3 different departments for the hospital at the same time. I can count on my fingers how many times in a year I had been called at home or had to put in more time. One year the hospital administration gave us a bonus but we were unable to get raises for our employees. The outcome of that was we used the money from the bonus to get something for our employees.
Can it be done? Yes it can. It just boils down to how much management cares about labor.
