Our focus should be having them defend why that relationship of their return off of our skill, lacks the corresponding valuing of the us the widget, as in other shareholders/product relationships. We should not be defending our want, THEY should be defending why they should make so much profit, and invest so little in the product. And then we should sit back, quietly wait, and let them work themselves out of the discomfort of the hypocrisy of the relationship which exists between their enormous gains and our industry trailing compensation package. Leaving the ship is quite a leap without allowing a negotiation discourse to take its course.
