of course, no one in this world needs billions of dollars while others are working their asses off (just as hard, if not harder) to make ends meet.
Should rich people give their money to poor people ?
This topic is locked from further discussion.
Believe it or not, but a CEO runs the company. His decisions and direction is what makes or breaks a company. Thats why he makes millions, because he holdingall the risk and liability. Yes their are corrupt CEO's out there, no doubt, just like anything in this world. But to sit here and say they don't deserve it or ask an ignorant question to as why they make more then a person serving food at a resteraunt is perposterous.[QUOTE="xscrapzx"]

You'll always need nurses, and teachers, and cops, and firemen, and plumbers, and waiters, etc. When people say if you work hard you can do it too, that's a lie. Not everyone can do it, not everyone can be a CEO, etc., you NEED the remaining people. So why shouldn't they get a bit more money too? Why should CEOs make millions in bonuses while freezing their employees salaries because of the financial crisis or *insert excuse of the year*? I'm not saying there shouldn't be rich people, not by a long shot, but why do they have to make 1000000 more money than the average worker?

Son, I know very well how the corporate world works, I'm in it for over a decade. Of course the CEO runs the company and of course his decisions can make or break a company, and that's why they should make big money, but you know what? You need everyone to keep a company running smoothly. You need everyone to work very hard to keep a company going. The CEO isn't going to magically do that. And the CEO sitting on a pile of money while everyone makes many many many many times less money is not right. And regarding holding the risk and liability, it depends. Look at those CEOs from major financial institutions that collapsed in 2008, that didn't prevented them from leaving with huge bonuses even after all the mess.
They were simply trying to make back the highest % of their original investment. Just because someone works hard, and gets to own a company, and thus makes all the profits off the company (the reason people even make companies) Does NOT give you a reason to complain.Think you can run a company? Great, go start a business, and show these other CEOs how things are done. Until then, you're just **** because they make more than you, and you're sad you didn't put more effort into life.

Presently, my job is spent partially on the computer, partially walking jobsites, and partially in negotiation meetings. Someone peering into my office might think "Wow, he doesn't exert a lot of effort, he doesn't work hard." What the person doesn't see, is that I started out as a file clerk, lugging heavy boxes and construciton materials around, working overnight shifts to gain experience, attending college classes on nights and weekends while working full time, volunteering to do any and all available tasks to gain experience and the confidence/trust of my bosses.
People see a guy in a suit and assume they have it so easy, yet they fail to think about what it takes to get there.
Do you think that everybody that works hard has the same opportunities as anybody who works hard? and are there not people who are successful who did not have to work hard or as hard as some other people who are successful? If you think about it's pretty clear that success is not defined by hard work alone, but by opportunity and ability as well. If not more so. I know people who work hard, but never advance in their jobs, not because they are poor workers, but because they don't flatter people on a social level. Being able to communicate and relate well with others goes miles further in this world than hard work ever will.[QUOTE="nunovlopes"]

A common misconception about rich people is that they didn't earn their money. I tihnk that's just wrong, I mean, sure, there are some poeple who probably didn't, but, more often than not, rich people had to work hard to get where they are.

Poor =/= lack of opportunity.
Rich =/= smart enough to succeed at starting a company.
Poor =/= too dumb to start a company.
All I'm advocating is that if you want that super shiny car, you should pay for it. You should pay for the gas, the insurance, and all the wear and tear on the car, out of your pocket. If you want something, pay for it. If it's too expensive, get a better paying job, or save. If you're unable to live on your current wages, find a way to live within your means, or get a new job.
Don't sit there **** because people who either invented something cool and got rich off it, or because the others who worked VERY hard to get where they are, are getting rich because they're able to get the jobs you cant. CEOs require experience, they worked very hard to get into those positions, meaning school, many hours of experience. Hours you're currently spending complaining about the unfix-able situation, rather than improving yourself so you can improve your chances in the world.
Just because someone is rich, doesn't mean they're smart enough to use those riches to improve their quality of life, often times we read of people who inherit tens of millions of dollars, only to blow it away on drugs/parties. Other times we hear stories of how poor people worked hard for years and years and finally catch a break and end up millionaires.
See, in reality, it's not the CEO's that dont do any work, it's the ones complaining because they're not making that kind of money. And they're not making that kind of money because they dont give a ****, or enough of one to actually work hard in an attempt to succeed.

Well in some cases that can be true but for some people that have to struggle even to eat one day in Africa for example I don't see how effort would make much difference. They will probably end up dead by starvation or disease anyways. You need at least some minimum necessities fulfilled for you to focus on succeeding. If you have to spend lots of time trying to get what to eat or looking for shelter or suffering from disease then you won't have time for much else. That's why social programs are important, if society can at least guarantee that the person have their basic needs fulfilled they will have much more chance to do something for themselves and for society in general.

Your experience obviously isn't much since the decision of who gets hired or not usually comes down to experience.
by what? eating 5 grains of rice more than his starving friend? funny how you say its all about effort.... then point out that circumstances are actually accountable. theSteeeeels
/facepalm. Lets stay within the realm of sane?
no, a kid in africa wont become a CEO. just like a kid in living in an american ghetto wont either. why? because of circumstance.theSteeeeels
Kids in the ghetto can get rich, if they put the effort into learning what they're being taught, they stay away from drugs and gangs.
"But, that's easier said than done"
Hense the ****ing effort part, either try in life or dont, but dont cry because you chose a path that ruined your future.
and what about people who are dumb. literally born stupid. they put in 100%, but sadly just cannot pass exams or take on responsible jobs. and then people who are born with talents. she was born beautiful? lets pay her 100k to be a model. born singer? sing a few songs and get picked up by a record label. effort doesnt equal success. thats just absurd and so oversimplified.theSteeeeels
Dumb = unable to speak, and yes, they can still be quite successful.
If they're simply not very inteliegent, well thats what public schooling is for right?
Someone decides to make themselves look pretty, with the right makeup/hair, or through years of pracice learn to sing. And you're mad, that's fine, they're naturally talented/pretty, and people like that. Lucky them. However even if you're the most beautiful thing alive, that wont last long without a bit of effort, nor will it make you any money unless you make that choice.

I've never had to lie in an interview. I've also never had to smile unless someone actually elicited that type of response from me. Making eye contact shows you are listening.
An internship isn't the only thing that shows experience. A resume and the way you answer job-related questions does as well.

I've never had to lie in an interview. I've also never had to smile unless someone actually elicited that type of response from me. Making eye contact shows you are listening.
An internship isn't the only thing that shows experience. A resume and the way you answer job-related questions does as well.
Interviews will never go away. Not sure why you're complaining about them.
Not if your someone with aspergers; it induces anxiety and distracts you from the auditory input. I listen better and feel more comfortable when I'm not making eye contact.

Go see a doctor, and get medication... Next you'll be posting about how it's hard for a schizo who's off his meds to get through an interview and land a job. Again, effort, choices. Have some, pick the right ones, and turn your life in a positive direction.Please Log In to post.
