  The org is non-profit, the people working for it very much would like their profit.

  Non-profits pay fixed salaries. Instead of having an owner who “profits” all the extra money left over.

    Fixed to THAT much is a crime! Lol.

      It’s a percentage (less than 7% of donations for all salaries). They are a very large non-profit…

      That’s what I was thinking.

      I know america has this elitist managment culture of that values people who “earn their worth” and are “entrepreneurial” or whatever, but that doesn’t ever justify a million dollar salary to me.

        It doesn’t seem like charity if some of your donation goes to the CEO. I understand they gotta make a living but to still call it a charity and run by millionaires that got rich BECAUSE of that charity is ridiculous.

  Does your bank accept payments of $0? Or the grocery stores? Even if your organization doesn’t generate profits, people still need an income to survive…

    I meant a big salary like that. If you read my other comments. This was a genuine question. OP had good point.

  Because there aren’t volunteers?
