I'll take those bets tex, because you haven't got a clue. My wife is an extremely hardworking person. That is one of the reasons she was one of the last regular employee to go in Cleveland. After that they asked her to contract for them in Houston. If she wanted to move there she could have kept her job.
If she was so hardworking, then don't you think she earned the money they were paying her?
Because in your previous post you say that they were over-paying her...
yes, for her formal education, experience and overall intelligence she was WAY over paid, as were most people at BP America. Her pay rate was equal to someone with a 4 year degree, she had ZERO college credits, was hardworking but completely average otherwise.
When the oil started flowing from the north slope they were awash with cash and they were inventing ways to burn it....

1981:Corporate coffers overflow. Desperate to invest $2 Billion accumulated in banks, Sohio buys Kennecott Copper, paying twice the current stock value.
1982: Sohio invests in fine art for new headquarters- commissions a sculpture of a rubber stamp- 48 feet tall! (the "Free Stamp" was given away because the BP bosses didn't like it)
1985: Total corporate employees now number approximately 56,700- 2.7 times the number 5 years earlier.
My wife has been in oil for many years. Trust me, they don't need the tax breaks. You think government is bloated with useless employees? You should check out an oil company some time.
Or any govt road project. One guy digging and three guys watching.
spoken like a true desk jockey. I would guess you never held a shovel for a paycheck. FYI, in any project there are different jobs that are performed. There are skilled workers, semi skilled workers, laborers and supervisory and/or inspection personal.
Hey office worker, take your office for an example. is there a person that cleans up the office and empties the trash cans at night? Is there a boss in the corner office planning his afternoon golf outing? Is there a boss or team leader you answer to and take your problems to? Is there a clerical pool or staff that you give the paperwork things to? Is there an IT guy that keeps the network up and running? Is there a receptionist that answers the phones? Is there an HR department that does benefits and payroll? Everything that gets done in an office environment is done by a team, where different members of the team do different things.
Well, EVERY time you see a group of workers looking into that hole, you are looking at a team of workers, taking their turns at getting the job done, the electrician doesn't work the shovel and the laborer doesn't tickle the wires. Got it now?
I don't know, maybe you want the laborer to do the wiring. Maybe the carpenter should do the plumbing work.Maybe we don't need to supervise the workers and maybe we don't need to inspect their work....

Every one of those I've seen was a contractor who'd won a bid for road repair.
