I don't have a problem with somebody making a good salary. I'd like to make a good salary one day. My problem comes when you're making a TON of money, and the company is not. Worse still, when you fire hundreds of employees, and still find enough cash laying around to give yourself a multimillion dollar bonus. How does that make any sense?
