Executives need incentives. Whoever said life was fair. Life has never been fair, and there's no way to make it fair. All attempts to try only make conditions worse. You have to play the hand you're given.
Workers are common, executives are rare.
Workers are too common, and therefore less valuable to society. Therefore, executives and professionals deserve the kinds of money they make. Every worker reading these five excuses will immediately recognize their absurdities. His subordinates, the company doctor, the corporate attorney, and an endless supply of stewardesses, hotel clerks, and general sycophants take care of his every need. You can't mention an excellent restaurant in France, Spain, or wherever he's traveled, that he hasn't eaten at.
