Ok, but did the company have to pay that much to get that same value? I saved a company from losing a $5 million dollar sale when I was 6 months out of university, but should I have received $5 million for my value? Plenty of other people could have accomplished the same thing.
Who are you to say what the company thinks is fair pay?
Aw thanks for asking. I am the all-knowing oracle of fair pay, but you can call me cudgy.
