The business people sure seem to make a lot more money... I can tell you that I have multiple family members that work in sales and make boatloads. My cousin spends at least 15hrs a week playing golf (something he really likes) on the company dime and getting fancy meals. That's also while making over $300k/yr. Others don't play golf but still do the lunches and meals, getting paid similarly. I'd say that this is a much easier work life than what we do...

Certainly you have non-techncal managers that are making more money than you and do you think they do more work? Certainly some do but I doubt all.

That's illegal in my country… you can't pay fancy lunches. If you want the people getting them must declare them in their taxes :D
Really? I live in a country where the tax authorities are very competent. But company representation is still allowed.
Representation ≠ corruption
Exactly. But I suppose this guy were doing the golfing and lunchenoing as a part of representation.
