Video: CEOs do not work 351x harder than their average worker.

May 21, 2022

In 1965, CEOs were compensated 21x more than their average worker.

In 2020, CEOs were compensated 351x more than their average worker.

You cannot tell me with a straight face that CEOs in this country are working 351x harder than their workers. It's GREED, plain and simple.

1. Your Point?

LeBron James of the NBA is paid $122,000,000 a year. The President of the United States is paid $400.000year. The Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff is paid 186.998 a year. Any thought on the disparity?

2. Yes! Everybody should be paid $122MM

Just kidding

7. How much does LeBron make compared to the hot dog vendor?

12. Can a hot dog vendor play basketball as well as Lebrone James.

If he can, then he should play basketball, not sell hot dogs.

9. I think the point is quite clear? What is YOUR point?

5. Any proof to back up your claim?

10. What does mar largo have to do with CEO salaries.

Which fortune 500 company does the current Mar Largo resident run?

[Kittycatkat]

15. do you have to be in a fortune 500 company to be a CEO? Again, what is your point?

4. Or a 100x harder.

13. Wages aren't related to how hard or how much you work

It's about the value you bring relative to others. The above mentioned LeBron James example is a perfect one. His job isn't harder physically or mentally than the worst guy in the NBA, or the D3 college basketball player riding the bench. But he wins games, puts butts in seats at arenas and most importantly, brings TV viewers in. He makes so much more because he brings that much more value.

[harumph]

14. and the "value" he brings is correlated to the "values"

of the sports audience. I'm not a sports guy and have
better things to do with my time instead of sitting in
front of a TV. Accordingly, I miss all those valuable ads for cars,
energy drinks and home loans. The (professional) sports business is
rife with corruption, dirty deals and misogyny. If
there were no avenues to bet on contests -
a lot of it would go away.
