If that's what we're worth in economic terms then that's what we should be paid. I'm all for rumors like this because I want to be paid for value. Should Lebron James work for free because he's playing a friggin' game for a living or should he be getting hundreds of millions of dollars because that's just a fraction of the revenue he generates?



The analogy is flawed. I'm not a basketball fan, but it sounds like James is the best living basketball player. No one else can do his job. You're claiming the same is true of a couple of mid-level product managers at Google? I don't buy it.


I was just talking about economic impact.
