Yeah, right.... I'm sure he's going to live on $70,000 as owner of the company. AND, if half of the employees had their salaries doubled by this move, I would think the rest of the employees would be ticked off. Nothing said about them having their salaries doubled too to compensate for a higher level of responsibility.

Yeah, exactly. What if you were making $75K with say 10 years experience and now your assistant that is straight out of school was making $35K now makes only $5K less than you? This is a novel idea but it really doesn't make good business sense.
