Writers’ Strike

[Mayhem]

That fourth point, I presume if the studio or creative heads ask for rewrites. Which is only fair, you're doing more work based on their (oft ill thought) suggestions, which if they are anything like other creative industries (graphic design especially, don't get my brother started on that one!), they only provide to justify their continued existence.

I don't know about the US, probably different, but a lot of "waiting staff" and "burger flippers" here are kids at university or college doing jobs to help pay to be there while studying. Not every burger flipper is only capable of flipping burgers the rest of their life. So yes, many of them are in a position to understand the CEO will earn a lot more for a lot more responsibility, but quite often it seems staggering what the ratio is.

Also it's a nice sideline, a slowly increasing one, for pensioners to earn some side money too.
