Okay, I’m confused. I think your point is that CEO compensation isn’t enough to make a significant difference in pay, but you seem to be completely ignoring the fact that there is no way that dude works hundreds+ times harder than the person in the picture, and that the culture that allows that to happen is not healthy. As far as I can tell, no one is going around saying “the only thing that needs to change is how much we pay CEOs.”
He’s getting paid like his ideas are revolutionary when in reality it’s clever at best and sitting on the inertia of the corporation. Like, I get the dude has brains but that paycheck is not proportional. And this goes for every CEO out there.
And before I get the “CEOs are there to take the fall” I say when was the last time a CEO has really taken a fall? I see them get hired again elsewhere after fucking up bad. The only one I remember was that Pharma company’s false promises but because the CEO was a psycho. Otherwise they look like pedo priests being shuttled between congregations when their diddling gets found out without consequences.
