I can attest to that. The managers at Linuxcare when I was there were making $250k/USD and working 4 days a week, mostly coming in at 10am/11am, logging in, taking an hour lunch and leaving at 4pm, spending most of the time in meetings or on the phone.

Disgusting, when you consider we were making 2-3x less than them, had to pay for our own parking, and were putting in 12-20 hour days, and of course, mandatory weekends to meet crazy deadlines agreed to by these same managers.

But at least we could bulk shop at the local Costco to save money.

I now work for a company run by grown-ups, so this is no longer an issue.
