Downright chilling that censorship of ideas is being proposed here. We must read and reread 1984. I'm asking the question why all other employees are being paid so little compared to two key employees. Whether it's 8000 per year or 25000 per year, it's significantly less than that of the two key employees. I honestly don't know why these employees stand for this when it's not a living wage and this is a nonprofit.

And if you were asking that question about *all* non-profits, you would actually be investigating the huge problem of wage inequity in the American theater. But as you onight target your current betw noir, it's disingenuous to hide behind some sort of intellectual integrity.

It's not censorship to remove incorrect information presented as facts. It is also the case that this board is not a public entity--the owners have the right to remove or block anyone they want (and not to remove posts some find offensive, if that is their choice). You need to reread 1984 yourself, if you don't understand the difference.

Nothing incorrect was posted. Read the Form 990. Calculate an average. I disclosed my methodology how I calculated the average since that is the best information one has by viewing the Form 990. Even if somehow a weighted average were guesstimated to show a fulltime salary guess of 25000 or higher, the key point is most people are not making anywhere near what the key two employees are making. All sentences posted were correct and properly disclosed. And the key takeaway is correct. Most theater employees are sadly not being paid a living wage in uber expensive NYC. I'm trying to call attention to the problem so it can hopefully be corrected.

The dishonesty of what you are claiming is what people object to, not you P.O.V.

You conflate full-time, part-time, and independent contractors in your salary figures so that you can get a lower average salary, which does not reflect reality. Not all of these people are covered under that figure. You know that, but not everyone here does. (The figure I calculated was around $63,000 as average employee salary there--not $8,000!)

If you really were interested in understanding the situation, you might ask how people in non-profits feel about their wages. But if you did, you might get the response that like the two key employees, they are willing to work for less than they would make in the private sector.

This trolling thing you do may be just a game to you, but most of us do not like seeing you play around with info about our livelihoods for your amusement.

This is fascinating: I often look at CN when researching other organizations, but it (foolishly) never occurred to me that theatre organizations would obviously be included too. Thanks for the link and the education!
