But what will those poor CEOs do now? They’ll have to downgrade to slightly smaller yachts. How on earth will they survive?
/s (just in case)
- Oh don’t worry. They’ll just raise prices and blame it on the rising cost of labor.
  
  Yup…. And this is the fuckin problem… happens in healthcare too… as someone in the inside of a major healthcare org I see the writing on the wall. Supposedly “non-profit” but we’re being told that because we don’t have constant growth at high enough levels every year that we all need to accept minimal raises and no bonuses… but the cost of care is increasing and the CEO is still making more money than I’ll ever see in my lifetime…
  
  I also work for for healthcare "non-profit" like this. You're not in the upper midwest by chance?
  
  Nah. West Coast.
  But sad to know (although not surprising) that this is a country wide issue…
  
  Yeah, I just started a couple years ago and finding the same corporate greed at a medical "non-profit" that I thought I'd left behind in the manufacturing sector was a pretty big disappointment.
  Still beats helping assholes make war materials though.
