like CEO pay must not be more than 10 times the amount they pay their lowest paid worker?
that sounds fair
Used to be 40x, I could live with that. At $20 min. wage, that's about $1.65M. Fair enough for a monster corporation's CEO. Would you hire some asshole who says he'll run McDonald's Corporation for 10x at $416K? I'd be sus.
And here we have the facts of the matter:
That breaks down to an hourly wage of $9230.77, not including holidays, PTO, etc. 462x the lowest paid employee in California. 40x doesn't sound so bad now, does it?
But still, CEO pay ain't the problem, it's a symptom of runaway capitalism. Ran the numbers a couple of years back on American Airlines. If their CEO took zero compensation they could award every employee a $236 yearly check. I'd be fucking insulted if that was my Christmas bonus.
Also if they try to pull a "These aren't employees they are independent contractors that just happen to work in my store and wear my uniform and..." we hang them as an example to the rest.
Even better would be if a CEO can only earn more than their lowest payed workers if everyone they employ earns at least a livable wage.
That's how Pirate's codes were written, a deck swabber gets one share of the loot, a cook gets two, officers get three, and the captain gets five.
And if the crew isn't happy with the captain they could vote him out and elect a new one.
