I wonder what Pallotta would say about the gender facet you see fueling the situation he describes. Another facet I see is that the people who work on the "front lines" tend to be undervalued and undersupported. I see this within nonprofits and education and it fits my understanding of how businesses and the military work too. Do you think nonprofits as a sector fall into the "front lines" category in the eyes of its donors (and workers), thus further justifying the pay levels? Thanks for the great reads.
