Why do executives make more than techies?
Haven't you wondered why it is that your lazy, stupid boss makes more than you? It never seems to change....the person in charge never does any work and seems to always have no clue about anything, yet always makes more. Why? Well, leave it to my favorite software engineer, Dilbert, to come up with a solution.
Dilbert's Executive Salary Theorem:
Engineers and scientists can never earn as much as the executives that manage them, nor as much as the sales force that supports them. This theorem is supported a mathematical equation, based on the following two postulates :
1.) Knowledge is Power
2.) Time is Money
Expressed in mathematical terms, these statements become:
1.) Knowledge=Power
2.) Time=Money
As every engineer knows:
Power=Work/Time
Since: Knowledge=Power, then Knowledge=Work/Time is also true.
In addition, since: Time=Money, then Knowledge=Work/Money
Solving for Money, we get:
Money=Work/Knowledge
Thus, as Knowledge approaches zero, Money approaches infinity, regardless of the amount of work done.
Conclusion: The less you know, the more money you can potentially make.
That Sucks!
