James Fish, CEO of Waste Management, Inc., pulls $13 milly a year. Not bad, but then you remember he is literally a garbage man.
Question to WSO: would you be a garbage man for $13 mil a year?
disclaimer: I don't believe that your job defines you etc etc.
ps: If you say you saw your garbage collector wearing a rolex (he earns $13m annually) how would you react

13 million quid a year to chuck some bags into a big truck every morning? Where do I sign up
Yes I would. Waste management is a great business. Non cyclical.
Overlooking the troll attempt to compare the CEO of a successful waste management business to being a garbage man.. regardless my answer would be yes. I’ll load the trucks, drive the trucks and sort that shit to recyclables and non recyclables by hand for $13 million a year.
f**k i hate this place sometimes
