I think you must misunderstand my situation if you think I earn money from "profiting from the work of others"?

Have you ever been a senior manager before?

If you had, I hope you'd understand that the role involves creating jobs, hiring people, promoting people and generally supporting them, mentoring and advancing their careers? Taking responsibility for any problems they cause, and ensuring they get the glory of any successes. As well as doing my regular job as a developer at the highest level. I'd never worked so hard in my life.

It was exhausting and I'd expect to be compensated richly for it. Few people would stick the job.

The more jobs created, the more competition for employees, and thus the higher wages offered. We all owe a debt of gratitude to job creators.
