Oh no... rich person gets offered to be paid millions instead of being paid millions...
I never understand this mindset. It reminds me of people who complain about NFL players all while the owners rake in billions. Like why y'all mad at the labor? Be mad at the owner.
I can dislike both.
You only dislike the labor because they make a lot of money. But in practice they are in a similar situation to yourself or any other worker. (unless you don't work, then forgive me)
I don't think you will appreciate it if your employer suddenly decided to pay you half your wage out of the blue. And any kind of reduction of workload offered is usually a false promise.. would you keep quiet?
I understand your point, milk the corpos for all you can. But they aren't exactly philanthropists anyway, they take their private jets, hoard their wealth etc.
Renner even had an app to take more money off fans, so fuck him. I can judge each one individually. Some are just blinded by the fame and fortune, so they are not much better than the shareholders anyway.
Think worker vs shareholder, not just rich vs poor. Never take a job for less, always negotiate, or you're only leaving more money for the owners
Also, plenty of these people will take lower paying jobs, just not from Disney and not from a multi billion dollar franchise.
not if your already famous, and already been paid a certain amount before, you wouldnt want to get paid less. maybe if your starting out as an actor and need some spotlight.
Because it's not about money, it's about respect.
Respect has a price huh? Also there are no details why he got paid more. Does he olny appear half the time? Is he just a cameo? No surley he's just a poor multi millionaire with his own social media app
When was the last time your employer told you in your interview that your job was going to be X and Y responsibility only, and it was actually true throughout the job? it's difficult to trust your boss not to overload you after cutting your pay.
Hawkeye only gets a cameo on Hawkeye Season Two?
Which button is Doubt on this thing again? Ah here it is: X.
On the other hand there's its always good to fight for an artist when the opponent is Disney.
Exactly
