This happened a few days ago and I’m still annoyed. I had one of those virtual corporate Teams background and he asked me if it was real or fake. I answered it’s fake, and he said otherwise “we’re paying you too much”. He brought it up on a second call, saying it looks like it costs $12,000 a month. I know it was a joke but I hate the fact that’s a thing to say someone’s paid “too much”. I didn’t know what to say – any ideas for retorts? This guy is easily early 70s and seems to have an old school mentality (and got his job through the good old boy’s club).
