That's the same as 2500 people making $40,000 a year. Can anyone explain the supply and demand factors that would justify such a salary? Or are they delusional in believing they provide that much benefit to a company?

you're 100% correct about this. Imagine 2500 people spending $$ on cars, clothing, food etc.... VS what a single person can spend. It should be obvious which scenario stimulates the economy more.

I guess no one would do the job for less?

No wonder we are getting our butts kicked.
