TrueWhiteBoy Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 Seems a bit low, but at the same time, it's free money for doing what he'd be doing anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D_J Posted February 10, 2010 Share Posted February 10, 2010 Yeah should be more like 10K for top dog in the country. I hope they at least make some decent coin for their regular salary or new Subies for cost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hkshooter Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 Yeah, I don't understand the moaning. They recognize a top tech out of thousands and reward him with money he didn't have and all people can do is bitch that it's not enough? Amazing. True colors of the culture showing.
