Comment on unnecessary expense
meekah@lemmy.world 1 month agoI really don’t see how that makes much of a difference. The CEOs can just leave if the board doesn’t pay them what they want. And since the boards want them specifically as CEOs, they end up paying what the CEOs are asking for. So the CEOs are paying themselves with some extra steps. Or am I missing something?

That’s literally the same power you have at work. Just leave work if you don’t like your paycheck.
Do you see how stupid that argument sounds now?

I think its quite a different thing for someone who has a net worth in the millions. It’s not the same at all for someone living paycheck to paycheck.

Exactly, except in reverse.
If you want to attract the talent of someone who has network in the millions, you need to pay them more.

Everyone stop wasting your time. This guy is obviously a corporate bootlicker or is in the C-suite. You can’t reason with people like this.

The problem is that anyone has a net worth that high to begin with. Nobody is able to work that much harder than a regular worker.
