because you are in show business! One of the most vain, elitist, non-egalitarian businesses in the world! Don’t you find it amusing as I do that as a whole, this community likes to portray itself as “liberal“! L O L that’s a real joke!

Simple answer is more responsibility more pay. If they are your boss they are at a different level than you. Learn what they know and you could be receiving the same if not more. Knowledge is wealth if used and applied. Hope this helps.

Nonsense around 85% of the time. The assumption is that they know more than you. This would suggest an egalitarian culture where meritocracy reigns. Nothing could be further from the truth. I would venture to guess something altogether different. Here are two likely possibilities:
1. They had and have better connections than you do
2. They have no moral compass and are generally less ethical than you; willing to stab backs on their way up the ladder

As a “glamour” industry, show business attracts people who know that there are tremendous odds against them and as a result, willing to say or do things ordinary people might not. Let’s just say it’s a culture where ethics is not a priority, no matter how they may protest to the contrary. It’s just the nature of the beast.

Old proverb: Man who sleep with dogs wake up with fleas.
