Why do these angered employees think it's reasonable to compare themselves to the CEO of the company, who is trying to pull said company from a deep shit that it is in.
Why do these angered plebs think it's reasonable to compare themselves to the CEO of the company, who paid with her own money to have privileges they can't afford anyways.
All he said was that it's odd that rank and file employees expect the same perks as the CEO. I think that's a very reasonable statement.
if the CEO get's a personal assistant would every other employee expect one?
It was specifically the "who is trying to pull said company from a deep shit that it is in" bit that turned it from reality to emotional. Meyer is at Yahoo because she saw that as being in her own personal best interests. She isn't there out of altruism.
If this were a company awash with cash, then - yes, denying perks to others while granting herself one would've been a "dick move". Alas, this is not Mojang, but Yahoo and it wasn't a champagne bubble bath that she installed, but something that would let her spend more time at work.
