Simple answer in my logical Ivy League opinion - I'm salaried plus bonus, (I don't get paid by the hour.) I have a pension, I have a 401k Plan, an employee stock option Plan and 40 PTO days/year and I have unlimited sick days so basically I can do whatever the fuck I want when I want to and my compensation is the exact same regardless. Providers don't have that same luxury. Is that hard for you to understand why it's stupid to compare my annual compensation to a hooker genius? I literally can't even break down what I make an hour because I get paid no matter whether I am working or on vacation

it's easy to turn a salaried position into a hourly wage equivalent. add up the economic value of all your salaried income plus perks per month, divide by 4, and divide by the average number of hours worked per week, including vacation and paid sick days.
maybe providers aren't in such a bad place compared to salaried managers after all.
btw, thanks for addressing me directly. i never hide behind group anything.
