At @OP,

Iono, I guess I'm not really understanding your point. Its not capitalism you're describing; its just how the world is supposed to work. More responsibility = more money, right?

 

I guess the part I left out was the fact that all the managers had master degrees in hotel and restaurant management. To them, 40K a year is not acceptable. They only took that low paying job for the hopes that one day they will end up with the higher paying job.

The point was that even of you are not one of the people who gets to make the big bucks, you still make more due to capitalism then you do with a more socialistic setup (pay everyone the same), because the drive to generate more income raises the total income.

A smaller piece of a bigger pie is better then everyone getting the same size piece of a smaller pie.

That's the failing with Socialistic system. The pie will always be smaller.

 

Oh well F them. What I hate most is people who think they deserve more than they're worth. I hate people who have a sense of entitlement. The second they graduate college = they deserve some sort of higher wage. I'd start two guys at the same spot and whoever does better will get the manager position. If they think they deserve a managerial position based on some piece of paper, then I'll show them the door and have them look elsewhere.

I think you are oversimplifying the socialistic system of paying everyone the same, because I don't think that is the way its supposed to be. That or maybe I'm not that socialist to begin with.

 

 

I think you misunderstand me. They didn't think they were worth more, they just were the kind of people who wanted more out of life then 40K could buy them. The reason they spent 4-6 years in collage, is so if you did place them next to the guy who didn't have the paper, they would out perform, as they have a stronger understanding of the environment (unless the time in school was waisted).

They were all there for the 140K a year job, and were doing whatever they needed to be in the position to get it when a GM quit or got promoted to Regional Manager.
