Not to sound crass, but that is one of the dumbest ideas I’ve heard. So I’m supposed to adjust my budget as a captain, 15-20% ($50,000-$60,000) so I can keep you as a junior guy employed?
Kind of have to agree that sounds comical as 100% of my pre-tax income here is less than your 15-20% paycut

I do respect seniority though. You earned that paycheck and one day I will too

In the mean time, sure would be nice to keep my house this winter though
