Does this slash extend to musicians, athletes and actors? or are they cool?CEOs get paid over 500 times the amount of workers in America. Other first world countries is 30 to 50 times the amount (American CEOs got paid that prior to Reagan). We need to slash the CEO bonuses and stop buying excuses from them and they saying "we need to have incentive to work"
But these people act like CEOs are gods and can't be touched.
please dont tell me you think an executive employee is like a professional entertainer/athlete who contracts his work to a company?Does this slash extend to musicians, athletes and actors? or are they cool?
no it's not the job, it is how they are employed or in other words, their relationship to the company that is paying. if executives were all contracted to do their work, their average pay would be far lower and more closely tied to performance.So it isnt the pay... its the job.
How does that work exactly?
Why is it ok for one actor to earn 100 times more than another in the same film, but not ok for one in a company to earn 100 times more than some one else in the same company?
Break it down for me.
When you look at the real demographics of who makes the MW you realize it's mostly 2 groups of people and this whole media thing is a farce
1.)HS teenagers/College students trying to get side money
2.) Older folks who retired from their careers and want some extra cash
Its not 28 year old single mothers with 3 kids like the democrats have made it out to be. And they KNOW that, but they're trying to go for the emotional aspect instead of the facts. When you raise the mw what you're REALLY doing is making sure little jimmy in the suburbs can get his iPhone quicker
... you're not. Why are you so passionate about what another human being does with their property?
i never meant to imply that all athlete pay was unguaranteed, and i have no idea how you could get that i am "passionate" about this. this is the first time i have ever spoken about "CEO/athlete" pay here.CEO's are subject to the same negotiations, and many players do work guaranteed money into their contract. I look at baseball salaries(*cough* yankees) and you can see this.
But that aside, you sound as if you are the one paying
the zero sum fallacy i'm sure
For us third parties far removed from the transaction to look in and cast judgement is nothing but arrogance. For me(for example) to think I have any idea how much of their money apple shareholders should have been paying Steve Jobs, and what kind of package he deserved upon leaving(success or fail) is insane... and borderline offensive.
We can express disdain at income inequality without trying to control what people do with their property and/or assets.
That's most MW workers in general breh
. The vast majority don't work full time and aren't the primary breadwinners in their homes which is my entire point.

for them like they are better than human flesh.

the point is that executives have influence over the purse strings, so they will increase their pay whenever possible. nobody else can do that so comparing them to other professions doesnt make sense
i also never mentioned whether or not any particular executive deserves anything. i outlined how their pay is not structured tightly to performance like entertainers. that is all. stop getting emotional.
Didn't mean to offend your stockholders and your gods
Some of the CEOs are legit scumbags, but you
Legit scumbags are everywhere, yet you target CEO's? There must be more to it than that....
CEO's can only get what the shareholders are willing to pay, and if you are condemning them for being greedy, then you will have a lot of people to condemn after you're done with them.
Actors get paid flop or not, ask Eddie Murphy, Mayweather gets 40 million guaranteed win or lose, and hand picks his opponents. Lets not act like CEO's are different from any one else in a position to make lots of money.
my question is why is it our business what they make? The only reason anyone can justify caring what some one else does with their money is the zero sum fallacy....
