Missing Donut

Trying to lead a middle-aged life. Well, it's either that or drop dead.

You have taken no risk or investment in your employment, so it makes sense that you wouldn't reap the benefits of its profits.

That is a really interesting thing to post, considering that I take tremendous risk in my financial life being an employee where I work. I can only have one full time job at a time, so my full time hours are invested in the company and I have great opportunity costs in choosing one employer over another. My employment and health insurance are based on the company being competitive and profitable, and I have relatively limited ability to ensure its profitability (although in my position I have more ability than most of my co-workers).

I am being only partially tongue-in-cheek here. But there is very poor correlation berween risk and reward.
