US v Aussie wages v cost of living

Damn I'd like to work for one of you guys...Worked for the same worldwide multi-billion $ co for 18 yrs. Never got treated that good, every year got less and less. Laid off now. Current owners are Koch brothers Google them, annual revenue estimates of a hundred billion $$ SORRY didn't mean to hijack this thread :(

it's not a hijack!

I wish my boss paid like that too!!!........I've worked for the same guy for twenty years, not many pay rises, only what the Government grants us....when he's of work for months due to health I get to run his bussiness for him, for just my basic wage.....no managers wage, no bonuses.....he's about to go on perminate sick leave....wonder if I will get any extra for keeping his bussiness going?
