This was relatively civil and now you've bumped it up a notch. I grossed more than Dean last year, and the year before that, and the year before that... To do this I receive a bunch of differentials and worked overtime. He has a higher salary that me. I make more money than he does (Gross). You're calling me a dumbass? I'm amazed you have the intelligence level to apply what you read in the .65. Let me explain it in a way you can understand, although at this point I'm skeptical. If you work at a factory and make $50 an hour, make time and a half, and work 80 hour a week, you'll gross around $260,000 per year. As that factory worker you grossed more than Dean. I don't know about you, but working 80 hours a week to make more than $227,000 is pretty crappy. To recap, because you need a special remedial explanation. The Base pay of the factory worker is less that $227,000, but he is able to make more by killing himself working twice as much. Should I dumb this down more for you Move78?
