The caption. Look, I get it. For one, many clinics are too small to afford paying their staff as much as the big firms. For another, I understand mr. insurance man has a penchant for being a cheapskate and keeps reimbursement rates low.

However, how does that explain the upper elechons of our various companies having luxurious lives while those of us on the frontlines pick up their table scraps? Not that I'm saying their jobs aren't important btw.

For me, it's capitalism, or at least our version of it, that drives low pay. We don't design the programs or run the facilities behind the scenes, but we implement them all day everyday, and we're the faces of the clinics. We do a large portion of the actual user-end hands-on work, yet our pay doesn't reflect that.

I find it hard to buy the excuse of "oh but our hands are so tied because xyz reason we're struggling so much" when execs are doing more than fine, many buying second houses or going on several vacays a year. Reaping the benefits of the revenue generated by our labor (yes yes I know that cost must be deducted before it's considered profit. I took algebra).

But this isn't unique to ABA. It's a corporate america problem.
