Should I have to resign for this?

I was taken on nearly a year ago by this fairly rubbish company, but we'd agreed in secret that they'd pay me £3 million a year, so I thought - that's all right, so I accepted the post.

Since then, thanks to the way they are organised, parts of their business lost a lot of money and is probably having to go into administration, but I am quite happy as long as they keep paying my wages.

The other day though, word got out among their shareholders the amount I was being paid. This is most unfair. We agreed this would be secret, and now people are complaining about what should be my entitlement. After all, other people get paid this much just for kicking a ball about, and I am far more important than them.

So I have written a letter explaining what I think about their organisation, and that they should get rid of silly old-fashioned ideas about letting their shareholders make decisions, and just leave it to me and people I can trust to keep important things secret.

Should I have to resign? I need the money.
