Yes I do, and my dad says it’s more than enough. I’m already out earning him, but he has a better lifestyle and less stress, with lifelong pension.

They just look at my sulking face on the last day of month and don't bother asking 🙇

Yes. But that might be because after 30+ yrs of marriage, my mother still doesn't know what my dad makes. This desire for transparency might be rooted in that imho...

I'm the hiring mgr for designers in my org.

I assume mgrs see the full monty when it comes to pay...right?

I think the company is just trying to save money they overspent else where)
