I’m voting yes.

Never said I wasn’t prepared jackoff. Have a military pension and wife makes mid 6 figures working on Wall Street. It’s the principle, but am very prepared for this place to close the doors if it comes down to it. You just don’t get it.

Great so you’re voting yes to make this a permanent part time job because you don’t need the full time work.

Got it.

Mid 6 figures as in 500K? WTF are you working here for? Is it the energy bars?

Seriously? If his wife was independently wealthy he’s not deserving of a job here? By your metrics, who then is worthy of a job here?

Easy there Scrappy-Doo. Nobody said anything about "deserve". I was just questioning his sanity, not his value as a human being. BTW I love your stores.

My wager is that he rightfully realizes a family can't retire to their desired comfort level unless a family has lots of nuts stored in the tree.

UPS pilots will retire with 5 to 6 million dollars. Their spouses don't need to work.

UAL pilots will NOT retire with a sizeable pension, therefore their spouses often do work outside the home to supplement both earnings and retirement.

But the way I read it was his wife likely makes between 140 and 160K. I could be wrong though, not that it matters. Heck, I hope she's pulling in 800K a year.

If its Wall Street mid six figures is in fact 400-600K. On Wall Street that is actually lower end of compensation.
If I had to guess she is in legal or research departments. Traders and risk management would be in the seven figure area for compensation.
