There are many things to be upset about in the world but what people, who you have never met, think is not one of them. What people get paid is complicated. There is a difference between the public and private sector. In the private sector, what you make is often controlled by how much revenue and profit you bring into the organization. In the public sector, there is no profit incentive so politics plays a bigger role.
