This has got to be an April Fool’s Day gag a day late, right!? Is this guy for real?!

I cannot believe that anyone has the arrogance to announce that they own a “modest home” bought at “just under $2million”!

So out of touch, it’s reminiscent of Tsarist Russia and pre-revolutionary France!

Beam me up, Scotty. Please.

Good joke, but unfortunately, too close to the truth to be funny

I sure hope this is a joke. The problem is, joke or not, there really are people out there like this. It is just ridiculous. I can’t stand it when rich people don’t recognize how blessed they are. I think if you work hard and become wealthy, then that is great. However, once you are wealthy you need to recognize just how blessed you are and make sure you don’t let everything become about the money. Someone who is scared that he might have to sell his private jet would be way on the “money is everything to me” side.

“I create synergistic solutions to help our company compete by integrating and leveraging our core competencies. Our employees don’t know how to make our company the best in the business, so I set the strategic vision and work with our CEO, Michael Scott, to make us the best of breed. It’s not just that I work 70 hours a week, it’s the important decisions I make and the burdens I bear that make me valuable to the company and worth a large salary.”

So….basically…. You don’t know WHAT you do and you can’t explain it to the average person. AWESOME! I just LOVE buzzwords. Sell your effing extra properties, use the proceeds to pay off your overly-expensive house, and downsize with the rest of us, Mr. CEO. I don’t want to effing pay your bonus just because “OMG WHINE” you just can’t survive with half a million dollars.

I can’t live without half a million dollars either! Where’s my bonus? Where’s my bailout? Oh yeah, that’s right. I actually took a PAYCUT to help my company survive. Now I’m living on .5million divided by 12… oh yeah, and that’s yearly. If we can do it, Mr. CEO, you can too. Get with the program.

I am weeping over his house that is just $2 million, his condo in Miami and his vacation home in Vail.

Somebody pass the tissue!
