FYI --- I'm NOT getting shitty. I'm simply replying to your thread. I have posted my views and opinions. I have explained in great detail why the system is like it is. What do you want to discuss that isn't already common knowledge and common sense? Is there something that you feel is not common knowledge about sports and the business world in general? Is there something that you feel is behind the workings that we don't already know? Again, what is your point? What are you looking for in the way of a response?Well, no shit, for real? ........... Your opinion does not change facts. Everyone of us disagrees about something that takes place in this world. We all see something that doesn't seem to be right and / or fair. We do not live in utopia, nor in paradise. This is not a perfect world. And, I'm sure that you know and realize that. So, again, what's your point? What kind of response were you looking for? I have explained, in detail, how the system works, and many of the reasons why it works the way it does. All of this is nothing more than common knowledge and common sense. I fail to see the point and purpose of your post. I don't see what you're getting at. All I see is what we all know and understand as just business as usual, and general practices.And your point is? Yes, there are different pay scales for different jobs. It's been that way since the beginning of time. And, it's not always assholes that get paid more. There are some very bright, educated, and friendly people making a lot of money. I fail to see your point. Yes, players make more than coaches because players are usually very skilled, and do the bulk of the work. Coaches can be replaced a lot easier than highly skilled players.You'll have to ask the ones that hire assholes. Maybe assholes like to hire assholes. There could be many reasons. Oh, and it's not simple. Assholes could be very good at their job. Assholes could be making the company a lot of money. The possibilities are endless. There's no "one" answer that would fit all circumstances and situations. You'll have to refine your question, and post it in such a way that could be explained in a simple way. Your question is way too broad to be answered in a way that would cover every circumstance and situation. I gave you the basic information that explains today's work and employment environment. Now, post something that can be answered in a way that can be explained in a simple manner.
Coaches come up with the game plan.
Players execute.
Most of the time, players make more than the coaches. Particularly the players that execute most of the plans.
Managers come up with the game plan.
Administration executes.
Administration NEVER makes anything even close to the Managers. Ever.
In addition, in the business world, value to a business usually dictates pay. What is an employees value to a business? What do they bring to the table? What is their track record? How does the business directly benefit from an employee? Every single situation is different, there are no blanket rules that apply. Different businesses have different needs, different job scopes, and select employees accordingly. All of this is common knowledge, it's not rocket science.
So again, what's your point? Do you not already know these things? Anyone that knows anything about sports and / or the business world, certainly knows and understands these things. Also, in reality, the definition of manager and supervisor depends on the business and their chain of command. In some cases, both are basically the same, with like responsibilities.
Anything else? Just ask.
Just seems to me an Assistant supporting a high level Executive probably does more for the business than a Mid Level Manager. I think that in may cases, "Secretarial" positions are vastly unpaid in proportion to what they do for the company and how what they do contributes to the bottom line. Often times, the knowledge base needed is equal to or greater than those making twice the salary.
I understand the way the world work. I'm just saying it's not adequate nor fair.
No need to get shitty.
Just have a discussion... sheesh!
