Not for us.

@Countrywoman Most CEOs contribute much more to you and the rest of us with their production, than you do to them.

@Biptu Well, does the CEO work 475 times as much as the average worker? I think math and common sense are the deciding factors here. I wonder why you lack those skills when it's so obvious. "Voluntary" exploitation is still exploitation.

@Biptu So what? It still is an obscene practice which, unfortunately, has become part of our culture. We can, and should, change that practice.

I'd argue that. But as I've only observed and worked closely with one.... my comments aren't any more valid than yours, Walt. But, how many CEOs have you worked with?

@bigpawbullets My work was in the e3ducational sector. There, we did not have CEOs who were paid far more than they were worth. We generally had quite competent and effective leaders who werde compensated adequately, but, by comparison, modestly.

@wordywalt
Aren't all faculty in public education paid by some government agency? I'm only familiar with how the system works here in Ohio. So, I'd say that the two systems aren't really comparable.

@bigpawbullets Your comment still does not justify the hugely exorbitant pay of business executives.

@wordywalt
No, it doesn't. And I wasn't defending or objecting to salary differences. I was simply stating that to understand why a CEO's salary is what it is.
