Why should a mailroom guy make the same as a programmer? The programmer had to go to school, learn his craft, keep up with the latest technology, learn several different languages, fix bugs at odd hours, forced to learn new things or be obsolete, etc. The mailroom guy just sorts mail and packs boxes. Why should they be paid the same?
