Wild guess here - was it Lucy and Desi?

Amen, sister! (but you're preaching to the choir). What job do you have now and are there any openings?

Okay, so we've determined you think the sky's the limit with CEO salaries. I, and it seems other people, acknowledge that companies can set salaries however they see fit. However, we also think...

From the article: In 2006-07, the year Central Maine Healthcare made up for Chalke's retirement contributions, his compensation was six times that amount. A year after that, back on track with...

There is a salary cap for staff. I am capped off on my salary due to years experience. I don't recall anyone here saying that CEOs don't deserve a decent salary; in fact, the highest salary in...

"Client" I can sorta tolerate. But I can't say "customer" without gagging. And it really messes with my internal mission statement. A patient is someone I feel a huge responsibility for, someone I...

Oh, bring it. Just tell them it's a new-fangled way to cardiovert the more annoying patients.

Which is why I hated the ER!
