Keep it profitable in hard times and a higher number is certainly
justified.

Agreed -- but, remember, George was referring to MIDDLE level managers
making that kind of money.

I know quite a few project managers who made that much and they
*might* be at the bottom end of the middle level management structure.

OTOH, the ones making that kind of money were putting in so many hours
they were making less per hour than many of the union people.

They're not running nuthin'...and there isn't a mid-level manager in the
world that is worth what my General Practioner makes.

It depends on the who, what, when, and where. This is only lower to
mid "middle class income" in many areas including here in central
Michigan which isn't in the running when you look at New York, Mass,
and California. Even here where the cost of living is far less than
either coast you will usually find both husband and wife working at
this level.


Also, if I recall, George was in the telecommunications industry. With the
increased competition in that field, the profit margins are way down.

This area is predominately chemical industry and on the edge of the
automotive to the south of us.
