Why shouldn't CEOs make as much money as their boards allow?
Posted on 8/5/25 at 9:09 pm to jawnybnsc
Lol typical Bernie sanders posts and trusting “the system”. The system isn’t working for middle class relative to the CEOs. Company values haven’t grown relative to the CEO pay. CEO pay has greatly outpaced average worker pay. I haven’t heard any arguments as to why CEOs are worth more now relative to 30 years other than, “the board says they are worth it”. Meanwhile the C suite influences which board members are hired and they are all highly compensated.

Also, why is it only ever CEOs that you guys bitch about?
Why don’t you bitch about the sportsball players or the actors?
Hell, at least CEOs have to keep a business afloat.
How does it benefit society that Juan Soto makes $765 million over 15 years?

Same worn out 4karens argument: Teachers should get payed more than NFL athletes because don’t they preform a more valuable role in our society?
The answer is: no, people get paid what they’re worth.

Because you didn’t go to the right school or know the right people.
Unless you start your own company, this is basically the road map people follow.
My company’s ownership group recruits Ivy Leaguers and runs them thru the grinder for 4 years before assigning them to high level at one of their companies.

CEOs make too much money
Now do entertainers and athletes.
Using your logic it’s repugnant when someone of means tips a waitress a large sum.
You are just jealous.

Theres a better argument in the sense that CEO's are not worth what they are paid. If cutting the pay of a CEO in half nets you 10, 20, 50... productive employees, they probably aren't worth the bandwidth to keep them in the corner suite.

This is spoken like someone who has never led a company. Once you are in that seat and responsible for the well-being of everything about that company, you’ll understand the importance of it.

This topic seems to have hit a nerve between the populist movement and country club republican establishment that are both in the maga movement umbrella

C-suiters are experts at self preservation, and not company preservation, in my experience.

Once again, you only focus on CEOs.
Why don’t you include athletes or actors?
Juan Soto makes $51 million per year.
Steph Curry made $155 million last year.
LeBron James made $133 million.
Dwayne Johnson made $88 million last year.
Some of the highest paid public employees are physicians. Why not them?
Why do you only focus on CEOs?
Median CEO salary in the USA is ~$206,000.

I guess it boils down to the people who give presentations to the analysts.

Athletes and actors are pretty much one man teams in terms of their values. CEOs come up with the game plan and lead the company but have hundreds if not thousand of employees execute the plan. Half the time they hire consulting firms to give them guidance anyway

$20-30m isn't inherently unreasonable for a fortune 500 company. The part that is unreasonable is golden parachutes, the only other profession like that is football coaches.
People should not get a "plan B" that compensates them tens of millions of dollars when the entire reason they are getting paid that level in "plan A" is because they are supposedly irreplaceable. Its unfair to shareholders and pillages public companies
Private company executive pay is much more milestone/bonus based - as it should be

Seems pretty irrelevant.
Why should they make that much?

And you think that that is less deserving of a multi-million dollar salary than, say, an athlete?

I am not a CEO. I don’t make millions of dollars.
At least be fricking consistent and call out all of them if you have an issue with people making exorbitant pay.

Look another user thinking a contrived version of a Democrat fake narrative of Republican trickle down economics is used in falsely claiming something

I am looking forward to his explanation for paying freshmen college athletes hundreds of thousands or even millions before they even have attended a practice.
