Thanks for the responses! I will put out my thoughts in general here.

Our CEO made 1.8 million in 2010. If he did not take vacation of one month per year {$150,000} and accrued it for 10 years then they would owe him his vacation when he quit. That would be 1.5 million.

I don't know how many directors and above are in the company but I can see how that could add up to 3.5 mill a year.

For me the peon on our last contract we got 0% raise for the next 2 years. We just had an opening due to retirement. I am happy that they want to fill it but we only had 2 applicants that made it to the interview stage and the first turned it down.The second has been slow in responding. I am not unhappy but I wonder if I should check the market out!
