[B Old Mary is sure full of herself. 500k salary??? Can she still be.Blue Collar?
You bet she is full of herself and with good reason. She has kick-started a moribund running club into bustling, high performance multinational entity that is an advocate for road running, cross country and track at the highest levels of the sports, while also encouraging the children and everyone in between these opposite segments to participate as well.
To achieve this she has raised substantial new revenues through existing and new races, revenues that have been used to offer programs to encourage new runners, enhance the skills of the better runners, and bring together the most elite runners to enable them to compete with each other for serious prize money.
This has ushered in a wonderful new era at NYRR to the benefit of the metro NY running community and beyond.
The 500K salary? Please. She is running a major non-profit in the middle of Manhattan with a huge set of responsibilities. She has achieved growth in the business and created good jobs. She has forged good relations with the other potential users competing or the same space. And she has done this with aplomb. Every cent of the $500K has been earned,
As a point, $500K in NYC buys you a lifestyle equivalent to a middle class lifestyle anywhere else in the country. It is not a lot. $500K salaries are a dime a dozen n NYC. End of story.
She is by no means blue collar, she does have some middle class emoluments, however, to suggest she is living some extravagant lifestyle of $500K is simply laughable.
Am I wrong?
