Influencers.
Megachurch pastors.
A failed CEO. “Bob, you’ve done a terrible job. Here’s 60 million dollars. Hit the road.”.
I’d say it depends what sector, but my sorta-answer is that its f****d to see CEO’s CFO’s, COO’s, etc, getting literally tens of millions in BONUSES when the company is also laying off thousands of workers, selling off assets, losing value, or whatever.I always figured a bonus was something you earned when you did a good job…
Congress.
College football coach. “Fisher was fired Sunday morning late in his sixth season at Texas A&M with more than $76 million remaining on his fully guaranteed contract.”.
Politicians, state level and up. Part time thumb twiddling with great full time benefits for life.
Anything connected with the funeral or wedding industries.
NBA player.
Literally any F500 CEO. 1200% overpaid.
Fired college football coaches.
D**g company reps. And on the flip side, pharmacists are incredibly underpaid.
Coaches! Basketball, football and other big sports.
Education admin. I’m sorry, you don’t need almost 400k a year for being the head of a school district.
HR department. Cancer of any org I’ve ever been in.
Actors. You don’t deserve millions for acting goofy. Not even as a privacy compensation.But in the end it’s just supply and demand so what are ya going to do about it.
Management consultants.
School district superintendents. While I will admit, I cannot honestly articulate exactly what they do, that may very well be part of the problem.And anytime I see a scandal or their pay is otherwise mentioned, it seems staggeringly high for a government position.
King of England.
As an attorney, I’m very surprised no one has said attorney yet.

Mine. Healthcare marketing. Being paid 6 figures [with only a Bachelor’s Degree] to tell people [who are already medical school educated] how to treat their patients is actually hilarious! But if you’re gonna pay me for it…
Real estate agents. Maybe if it’s your first home and you need everything done for you, or this was the 1990s before online listings - a buyer’s agent and a seller’s agent on each respective side, the two agents splitting a 6% to 7% commission made some sense. But for your average transaction, or experienced buyers / sellers, this just doesn’t make sense anymore and it’s a huge expense on already expensive home sale.I bought a For Sale Buy Owner home, no realtor on either side. Hired an attorney to handle paperwork and we split the expense. Super easy. Also sold a home, without no realtor, and the buyer’s did have an agent. The agent was awful at communicating and being responsive, and she wanted her 3% “commision” to come out of the sale price. It’s like sis, you literally made everything more difficult, we still had to pay an attorney to oversee the paperwork and title company, what exactly are you being paid for here? I don’t give a s**t how many houses you showed to your clients before they decided to buy a FSBO and tried to keep you involved.
Almost every C-Suite position.
Reddit moderator.
Every billionaire.
Omg customer success managers. I was one. I was paid a ridiculous amount to basically say “I don’t have the answer to a single question you asked but I can see if I can find someone… who can maybe answer it but they probably can’t”. It’s a JOKE.
A lot of those jobs where your job is to basically talk to people and pass information around and your biggest problem is people not reading emails thoroughly enough.
HR at the hospital I worked at.
Athletes, hospital administrators.

Real Estate Agents. Especially buyer side agents. Earning a percentage of the cost of the property is ridiculous. You do the same job for a $200k home vs a $10 million home.
A lot of management jobs.Most managers don’t even properly manage, they push off the responsibilities of their job onto others and wait until a f**k up to do just about anything.If all runs smoothly, that’s great. But that doesn’t necessarily mean they are doing their job. Maybe the people under them are just really good at theirs, and don’t even need them. Or maybe the methods used to achieve those results are unsustainable and borderline unethical/immoral or even illegal.I’m not talking perfection here, nobodies perfect. But most managers need to step up their game, and always seek to improve the people under them, raise them up and help them. And don’t use the excuse of “nobody did that for me”. That’s just childish. Step up, and do your job.
