    What argument are you making then? Be very clear, because a CEO making $1.5m base salary per year seems trivial for a company as large was Walgreens. It’s much lower than I would’ve expected TBH

      I had to double check that my boozed up vision didn’t loose a couple zeros. Fuck CEOs across the board, hell, “C-suite” in general, but 1.5m is about the lowest I’ve heard for a CEO.

      That said, their decisions are generally the real reason to hate on the Cs. The gap in pay is the hate cherry on top.

      Edit: I’m reminded that base salary is a pretty lame comparator after reading another comment. Total compensation package is worth taking about.

      Just because it’s lower than average doesn’t mean it’s not still too fucking high, don’t pretend you’re too thick to get that’s the point

        That really doesn’t seem too high to me, in all honesty. What would you think is a good yearly wage for a Walgreens CEO? According to Walgreens themselves, they employ 225,000 people. Imagine we get rid of the CEO entirely and distribute their pay to all of the workers (communism, yay), each Walgreens workers gets an extra… six bucks… per year. That’s not really the issue you make it out to be

          No one should ever earn that much and that doesn’t include the stocks and everything else. Your arguments are defending the corporate elite. Stop being a bootlicker and believing all the propaganda that they deserve that much in pay.

            You’re begging the question, why should no one earn that much? The $1.5m is a puny salary for that job position. It’s not unheard of for medical workers (as in, the workers themselves, not just executives) to earn more than that. I’m not defending the corporate elite, your brain is rotten from too much time on the internet. I just don’t understand where the argument that $1.5m per year is some ungodly salary for the CEO of one of the largest pharmacy chains in the country that employs a nearly a quarter million people.

              No one needs that much and that doesn’t include other compensation that they get in stocks and such. Someone else said after all.of it thru make 20mill. No one needs more than maybe 600k. Even a ceo. They don’t deserve that much. Stop being a corporate bootlicker, again bc that’s all you’re doing and it’s gross.

                  Actually it’s not. Bc thats basically what they’re asking for, but they need pay raises too. I’m sure thr board members get insane compensation too. You’re so close to the point but still missing it acting like that’s not that much money to be making. No ceo, board member or anyone else should be making more than 600k a year maybe 750k at the very max. If you can’t afford to staff these places better, have living wages but SOMEHOW can pay ceo and board exorbitant wages and raise prices to the point of greedflation, somethings extremely wrong. There’s so much wrong with your arguments that stray into defending the rich and how much they get paid and missing the point elsewhere.

          If you think the argument “they’re paid too much” is rebutted in any way with “durrrrr but that’s 6 dollars for everyone” then you aren’t ready for these conversations

          It’s a lot more complex than spreading their yearly salary to their workers, and anyone with any grasp of how companies, the rich, and corporate structure bullshit would know that. People with simplistic grasps (or ulterior motives to spread misinformation) of the world boil it down to “spread the wealth equally” because it’s a fucking stupid idea and easy to attack
