The old school mentality that you never talk about what you make has kept people making less than they are worth for decades.
100% True. I throw trucking numbers out there and people get all upset. 1975 itt was 25 per hr today it’s a few cents per mi. We got 250 per ld extra pu or del in the ne. Plus mi pay ld or unld pay, dp tanker in building 35 bucks, etcToday they make 110 per day. I made more in 1976 as a 9 yr old bailing hay than some days in 2024. I had it out with a Chicago iL. Labor dept judge, about tens of thousands of dollars not being paid. He raised his voice to cut me off. I,ll bring it to Tribal court and prove Chicago is a slave city. Only cost me 100 bucks in a reservation Tribal court.
Truth.

DeCal Works Huge Plastic Inventory of UFO and Polisport kits.
I bet more than six figures which is living life especially if you love what you do.
It's evident Weege loves his "work" and is talented at it. Good on him, living the real American dream.
Thanks Weege for all you do for the sport.
That's a simple way of looking at it, but at places with pay transparency, it can prevent someone that's worth more from actually making more since their pay will be out in the open.
I think we all know that just because two people are employed to do the same job doesn't mean that both are of equal value to the company.
Man, off season is really starting to bite.
Not sure I’m tracking you, can you give an example? People who are “worth more” have to demonstrate that value to the bosses in order to get paid more. In the case of professional sports, demonstrating value is very transparent.
You should talk about your wage with your colleagues. It's a free market and workers sell their time to employers. Your time is a commodity so you should know the market value. If there is a legitimate reason your colleague is getting paid more then let's hear what it is so you can work to increase the value of your commodity. Keeping wages a secret only benefits employers.
A ton of Great racing every weekend in the fall. Muddy creek pro am & 2-st race with 33 or 40 k purse. Pa. Had 1 too. This weekend in Ga. Double Pa points. AX starts in a couple weeks. Should b a warm up race somewhere. Ltm has a race left 1,300+ at some rounds. 125 Cal. Riders travel to iL. For it. 125 riders from numerous states race there.
That tells you a lot about who Steve is vs. who Weege is. Steve's revealing his yearly pay on his podcast shows his ego & relative arrogance (IMO) vs. Weege not openly discussing his showing his level of humility.
Yeah because Weedge is probably on like 75k
He ain't doing all that work, announcing , videos and travelling for just $75K a year!
If Weege ain’t making $200k per year, then he is getting screwed. He is not making Stick and Ball announcer money, but he ain’t at $100k either. Mr.Weegeman knows how to make a dollar scream, and that is a great skill to have in this world !
When the economy is good and rates r too. The truckers report o/o ,s with there authority. Talk about what there getting for rates in different zones. Non driving people go on a thread and start bashing them calling them gougers,etc. a driver might say stay off the Chicago to Tx. Lane . Stick to the Midwest your truck will make 6+ per mile more. What better 45k a week or 16k . Take advantage of the high rates and stop working for cheap. It’s time to stock pile the money to be ready for when it crashes and your making 400.00 profit a week. The last 4 yrs nobody is making anything , they operate off money made in the past. But outsiders don’t go on there talking ship then. When it good it’s real good a 20 trk co can bring 900k + a week.
Gosh, if Weege and Mathess are making $200,000/year...one can only imagine what Michael Lindsey, the man who runs the greatest motocross website on the planet makes per year.
Must be upwards of a cool half mil 💲
Vital has to be worth Billions!!!😉
How would pay transparency prevent a valuable employee from getting paid more?
If there is a project manager at my company who is really good at completing profitable projects, and I know I wouldn't be able to do his job as well as he does, I would have no complaints about him getting paid more.
I can't imagine there are many/any reasonable players on the Kansas City Chiefs who begrudge Patrick Mahomes from making so much money. They know he does something that nobody else on the team is capable of doing.
Transparent salaries are far more likely to let underpaid employees realize they are underpaid, and either ask for raises or go to a new company.
Pit Row
If the High Value employee knows that he is underpaid, he can jump ship to an employer that will compensate him what he's worth.
Whos going to give him a pay rise? Giuseppe ?
No way man he’s the editorial director of Racer X that salary alone I bet is 100K, then the deal with Feld and MX sports to announce the races has to be 75+ he’s been in the game so long he knows his worth and is pulling top dollar.
"Generally speaking, income secrecy best serves the interest that pays the wages, not the workers. But you all knew that, right?"
Generally income secrecy best serves the interest of those that value privacy.
Sharing other peoples income publicly generally serves those that value discord and envy.
But you knew that.
Do you have any idea the context of any of this or were you just looking to get your Vital Street Cred for the day by taking a shot at Matthes?
Sometimes I really try and read ur posts/ paragraphs but usually end up coming to this conclusion.Lol
Steve was asked when they were talking about AC’s salary. He wasn’t offering it up or even bragging. You could tell he didn’t want to get into his pay actually.
I'll just say this....
I have friends that make over $1M and live like they make $100k, and friends that make less than $100k and try to LOOK and act like they make over $1M.
How Steve and Weege live their lives is not a good indicator of income, outward appearance hardly ever tells the truth.
Wtf. Lower mid 6 figures is 200k ish
Truth.
Lol I meant 100's because I'm an idiot haha! Also I am betting Steve was downplaying it a bit on his income.
I would bet that as well.
