That's the free market at work. I got no problem with it. That's what the stockholders are cool with, that's cool with me.

But holy shite - do you think that these CEO's are worth close to that? Do they really bring that kind of value to their companies? If that's the pay, that's the pay. But woah.

No solution is the solution. It’s for the free market to decide. Period. Because the alternative is totalitarianism.

That said, the Japanese have traditionally done this right. Their CEO’s of publicly held companies are very wealthy. But not fabulously, untouchably wealthy where they live separately and above those who put money back into their pockets. They inherently acknowledge the moral utility of having a connection with those who make them rich.

What does the Apple CEO make? Samsung?

What do the Chinese laborers make assembling them?

BLM got donations in an amount in the billions and was enough, money wise, to pave every interstate highway..every mile.. in the United States. What came out of that? Where is that money? What did the protestors get??

Accounting and engineering professors make more than music and art professors.

And we can go on.

Agreed, the CEO makes to much compared to the workers. If its a team, which they all preach, then pay should reflect that team spirit.

I think the better stat is GM CEO gives himself a 40% raise over the last 5 years. Over the same time period, he gives his employees a 5% raise


The difference in pay is the not the problem. The difference in the rate of change is


i can almost guarantee you that the ceo's job has become much more difficult over the past 5 years and the employees job has become easier.

Good CEOs are rare and highly desirable. They are your elite sports athletes of business. People having money doesn't make me want to pick up a pitchfork. Politicians generating extravagant wealth while in office does, though.

Average degreed engineer at GM is $90k/year with WORSE benefits than UAW. UAW demands would push hourly air wrench monkeys past engineering grads. F them.

GM CEO's salary equates to $0.48 per employee per day, and the $29M number is inflated based on performance incentives, a good portion of which will never be hit. Actual comp is lower.

Idk why dudes fetishize over people taking advantage of capitalism/politics in the US. It's really strange. Yeah, work your way to the top, you earned it, yaddah yaddah. I get it. But it's really weird that people don't see that it's not JUST "hard work" that got someone to the top of these multi-billion dollar businesses.

These people are called "stupid", have a victim mindset, and are bitter about life.

Oranges are orange. WTF does the color of oranges have to do with Dodge CEO salary? Nothing. Same as for the UAW workers... nothing.

The bitch the UAW isn't articulating is how much vehicle prices have increased the past 3 years vs their salary. Particularly their salary if you deduct the extra costs associated with Biden inflation.

Automakers have increased the price of vehicles by about 9% in 2020, 2021, and 2022. That is 9% on average per year. Seems they don't mind passing on rising costs of materials and components. But they are holding employees wage increases below what it would take to keep up with inflation.

No sympathy for automakers at all. The UAW proposal is ridiculous so no sympathy for them either.

While I do think there is too much of a celebrity status to CEOs and pay can be way out of whack ( see Lucids CEO comp...like 1/2 of 700mm revenue )

There can only be 1 CEO which makes it a unique role. You want to be paid do things the masses can't/won't

The workers want to work less hours but want more money, where is the team spirit there?

You mean a team, like with a QB and a HC? What does that ex-LSU QB make these days? And how about that Brian Kelley guy? What does he make? Now what does Joe groundskeeper at either of their fields make? See how that works?
