Actually, in my experience, that's not the case.  It is the case that 
when you're a highly-paid person on staff (executive or not), time is 
money, so wasting time is wasting money.

I'm sorry you've had bad experiences, as you've clearly had, or you 
wouldn't have felt it necessary to phrase it like that.

I can too, but I find that also is not particularly constructive if 
you're trying to effect positive change.  If you're trying to affect a 
change of employer, that is a very effective tool.
