Agreed. I know that in many value systems, labor is considered a
commodity like capital and land, one of the three factors of production,
thereby earning itself minimalization strategies on the part of the
management. I don't disagree with efficiency issues that relate labor
population with output. Certainly, an organization owes its shareholders
a maximization of profit.
However, in flatter organizations with learning organization
intent, the paradigm of superior pay for superior organizational position
may be in jeapordy.

Thank you for allowing me an opportunity to elaborate. It's
often difficult to determine whether it's worth devoting 20 minutes to a
message post. Your message is an encouragement. Thank you again.
