These people are just built different. Workaholics. Once I reached a certain point financially, I had no interest in taking on more responsibilities for more money. I'd rather spend that time doing other things I enjoy, like playing videogames.

Board seats are the path to wealth if you can get them. Knowing higher up execs at Microsoft seems to have its benefits.

Experience serving on the board of Tyson Foods, ESA, etc will help her get seats on boards she actually wants to be on in the future.

I have a similar belief, but thinking this way is why we will never be rich.

I'm content with my Inside Wireman pay. Making over 6 figures is enough. Being a Foreman, General Foreman, or Superintendant means taking the work home with you, staying late hours, traveling wherever they want you to go, and not refusing the overtime. The company owns you.

lol

these board seats are a few days of work a year total, a meeting at some fancy resort the company flies you to, and a few hundred thousands of dollars for the trouble. It's bogus.

Just a reminder that these people don't give a shit about the product they're peddling or the customers they're peddling to. They care about money and power.


Sarah Bond is as passionate about gaming as she is about chicken strips.
 
Seems like her exit strategy is in motion. Dunno if freezer-aisle foods pays as well, certainly won't hold as much prestige but any board seat option is better than none.

Why would a board seat equal exit strategy? I dont think you understand what a board of directors is.
 
This gender pay gap is insane. She works on video game hardware and on tyson's board, I use video game hardware and eat tyson chicken nuggets.
Yet the gap between our pay is ridiculous.

Problem is their ego. They are addicted on their ego.
