Shared some stories here before being a go-for for a CTO at an old company and seeing how the sausage is made at others.
I think most people would be absolutely amazed at how little work executives and middle managers do at most corporate American companies. While they earn hundreds of thousands to millions. There's this really stupid myth in America that executives do a lot of work but it simply isn't true. Every company isn't Amazon or Microsoft.
I'm reluctant to share company names because it might make it easy to pinpoint my real name, but for real, I've seen CEO's and CTO's and everyne in between do literally next to nothing for years and get rich from it.
