  1. Think of how many jobs could be moved back to the United States if the money wasted on overpaid managers was invested in salaries for contributing employees. The average pay quoted in the article is likely to be wrong if eBay employees outside the United States was included. Also, the averages were not stratified enough to be useful. If managers with stock options and other incentives were excluded, the average would likely drop to s figure too low to afford a house in Silicon Valley, Seattle, Boston or New York.
