I think you just must be a poor manager, where as I have been promoted twice in 3 years and make over $150,000. I guess you get what you pay for.

Mate, I make rather a lot more than that. Was I supposed to be impressed?

And in my experience the amount you get paid does not always reflect the quality of the person.

Finally, anyone who is frankly tacky enough to post their salary on a public board is clearly looking to impress and therefore more than likely inflated it considerably :)
