DAMN and blast my grade school math!!!

I messed up a couple of the calculations, so from 1 to 5 it is in US dollars
(Rounded up to the nearest dollar) 20, 28, 40, 80, 172.  And the employee
count (roughly); 20( grade 1 & 2), 4, 3, 1.

And just as a rough guesstimate at the first quater of a liftimes earnings
will be about 400,000 uk pounds in about 16 years for a standard worker (no
uni education) working from 18 years old started work in 1987 (Based on uk
average wage) which is about 14 uk pounds an hour. Senior executive, same
time line (last quater of working life) would be looking at anything from
1.6M to 82.5M+

As you may have guessed, I have nothing to do at the moment (waiting on an
"executive decission")  =]:0)

Cheers

Simon
