It's because people that manage something

"It's because people that manage something will always get paid more than people that do something."

Only in workplaces with good objective measurement systems for determining employee productivity can pay be related to work being done.

The vast majority of workplaces ensure that those doing the actual work get paid less. It is far better to spent time making sure the management knows who you are, meeting them outside of work, and promoting yourself, than spending time in the trenches and doing actual work.

Actually managing or doing a good job is a very poor tactic and pointless if not combined with an effective social game . Of course those that spent their time doing that like to think they are getting paid more because they are better managers, better workers, are the ones actually getting equipment repaired and back online sooner than others. Having implemented objective measurement systems into such workplaces the one common surprise was those who were the most productive were almost never the ones getting paid the most.
