I don 't get the whining about income disparity. No one did that in the good old days. What DID they do?

Work hard to do their jobs better. Get more education by going to night school or a trade school while they worked at a job to earn a living by day. I do not recall anyone whining about it. When they were dissatisfied they DID something about it. Something is missing today. More corruption criminal behavior replacing the good old tried and true honesty and hard work. Short cuts. Take the easy way out. Lie. Blame others. Undermine them to make yourself look good. And on and on and on and on and on. Today's people are SOFT and LAZY. They want to start at the top and do as little work as necessary.  Not all of them but enough of them to get sick and tired of hearing it. Sure the obscenely wealthy screw us all the time. When was that ever NOT THE CASE?

Now I do recall being unhappy when a woman discovered she was being paid less for doing the same work as a guy. I complained to an owner once about that. I was well-compensated and got great bonuses and raises BUT there were a few slackers (male) who didn't and were paid more just because they had a body part I did not. The owner said he'd make up for it in the yearly bonus. I took my time and left when I was ready to go. It was just bullsh**. It wasn't the AMOUNT of money that mattered to me at all. It was the fact of the DISPARITY that mattered. Long ago and far away thank goodness.

    welcome to 2019.  Money rules and work ethics are a thing of the past.  

    Nowadays, the goal for employees is to make as much money as possible while putting forth as little effort as possible in the process.  While the goal for employers is to pay employees as little as possible for as much work as possible (use, abuse, and cast aside).

    Remember, anything goes so long as you don't get caught.  But if you do get caught, lie and/or place the blame elsewhere.

    Yep. We hired a guy. He quit as he was picking up his last check..."I am gonna have to find some work soon."

    Basically he wanted easy work. But not a steady job.
