Ahh yes. I switched companies because some new sales guy I discovered was getting paid more than me after I was there 9 years.

I mean, I completely understand them. You just build the products. Running and building them doesn't bring in money - that costs money! You know what brings in money? Sales. That's why they deserve such huge amounts of money, because they're bringing in money!

/s if that isn't horribly obvious. They never seem to connect that without a product there's nothing to sell, do they?

Why pay people to build a product when you can just sell vaporware!
