Excuse me for correcting you kind sir. If you were topped out at $20(just an example, in the ballpark), and I was at $14, you grossed $240 more than me on 40 hours. That's about $12.5k more annually on just 40. That doesn't count the extra on OT, the extra 401k match, the bigger sick day bonus, the extra put into your portable pension. When you were at $24, and starting pay was at $14.39 or thereabouts, the disparity was even bigger between you and starting couriers. You were getting 3% raises on higher pay, we were getting 2%. Let's say you were at $23 and I was at $17. You got 69 cents, I got 34. You may very well have gotten less than some who weren't topped out on a much higher payscale in California or New York, but you did a lot better than those who went 10 years or more on

raises on your payscale. Wise up genius, people worked OT because they had to, not because they didn't have your money management skills.
