It happened within the first couple weeks I was there , and I was a clueless college student back then so I didn ' tdon ' t know all the ins and outs , but in short it was a fairly large tech company and the founder had nearly all of his family in senior positions . All the worker bees saw the salaries and shit went haywire quick . Like , my department , we found out our supervisor who was the owner ' s sisterinlaw was making $ 165 k . She was never there though and was completely clueless as to what we did . We probably saw her for 45 hrs , one day a week . Shit like that was rampant . Of course then though , I was making around $ 13 HR and just glad I even had a job . I didn ' t go anywhere , but most everyone I worked with did .
