[QUOTE="HammerMan, post: 8540427, member: 84112"] I normally don't talk about money (it's like politics and not really D&D related) but this gives me a chance... summons high horse "If a company can make a billion dollars and a good portion of that is from a small team, that small team better make a LOT of money." "If wotC has 100 creative employees (I doubt it) and 50 support employees (janitor payroll hr goblin interns) and each of those 100 creatives got paid 1 million dollar, and half of thos support were paid 3/4 of a million with the other half being low paid 1/2 million that would be 100 mil + 18.75 mil + 12.5 mil that would make the payroll cost $132,000,000 o 13.2% of that... lets say that overhead is expensive (it is) and cost tripple that outrageous payroll cost $396,000,000... that is stil 528,000,000 or just ove HALF A BILLION..." "Anyone want to bet no creative at wotc make $500,0000 a year (half of the above) or even $250,0000 (1/4)... what do you think the odds are they make $100,000 a year(10% of the above)? I wonder if they make the $73,000 a year magic number for happiness." so yeah... everyone at WotC BETTER get a BIG bonus if not a HUGE raise out of this... [/QUOTE]
