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.

Wow - thats a bit different to your deadwood statement - come on make your mind up!
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

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

Do you think its healthy that you have had zero turnover in 3 years? I find that very unusual and would consider it something to be looked into.....

Luckily I discovered some $100 bills lodged down the back of the sofa, left over from my $2,000,000,000 salary. I am using them to waft away the smell whilst I post on this thread.
