Really? I find that quite surprising.

Hell, my sister is an accountant and she doesn't earn nearly that much. 
And my dad has over 30 years experience as a parmacutical analyst 
[that's highly skilled, specialist work that's difficult to hire for] 
and he earns less than that.

Hmm, thinking about it... I vaguely "know" our CEO. He must surely be on 
a bit more than 50K. I "know" our Director of IT [who no longer works 
here as of Friday], and he probably earns a tad more than 50K too.

I guess most managers just don't make a habit of telling everybody how 
much more money they earn than you do...
