If you ever need any inspiration or need to know how urgent our work is, just remember that the CEO of Wal-Mart makes as much in two weeks as its entry-level employees make in a lifetime. A lifetime; not a year, not four years: a lifetime
Emphasis added.
UPDATE: Thinking some more, I want to add why I find this so annoying. Companies like Wal-Mart are almost entirely dependent on their front-line troops as generators of revenue. Wal-Mart would not make their huge profits if their stock clerks and cashiers and other front-line employees did not do what they did. So for them so be so poorly compensated when the CEO sits back and makes vast bucks as if that were totally unconnected to the long, hard, earnest labor of the poorly paid front-line troops is particularly offensive.
