      The c-suite execs making the payments aren’t anywhere near the poverty line either.

        Perhaps none of them should be this far above the poverty line? (Big disclaimer, I didn’t read the article.)

      Did you read the article? It’s obvious what her needs were (see no parenthesis needed), they didn’t meet them so she bowed out. Should she take a deal that’s bad for her because in your mind she doesn’t “need” it?

      That’s why you got downvoted.

      When you’re at the top of your craft, you should know your worth, and when someone else doesn’t. A corollary to this is that your should not tolerate when someone doesn’t recognize your worth.

      would you take any job offered as long as it’s above the poverty line, or do you have compensation standards based on the job market and your experience?

          The solution is not to drag everyone down. Teachers deserve to get paid more but their pay comes mostly from local property taxes instead of a trillion dollar company that owns a third of all media.

          This is a relative privation argument. Just because other people are less privileged than Claudia Black doesn’t mean she should be a Disney doormat.
