Had a discussion with a leftist that thinks CEOs make too much money and it’s unfair.

So, I took Microsoft and numbers readily available on the internet.
CEO salary $42M
Number of employees 221,000
Pay the CEO $0
Each employee gets $190 extra and the CEO quits
Is this what the commies want?

They want all of the benefits of management and none of the responsibilities.

They don't know what they want or understand how anything real works. They just want to 'tax the rich' because they have no money and no ambition and they want everyone to be in their boat, comrade.

I'll never understand how a person's salary can be considered unfair in a general context. A business will pay someone what they believe that person is worth.

Screw mega-corporations like Microsoft! We need to support the grassroots folks who run small businesses out of their garages, like that Gates kid in Albuquerque.

I witness this on a daily basis around the company I work for right now.

I think sometimes it's more that the CEO's pay is stupid than it is unfair
The CEO of MSFT is probably worth 42 million if they do a good job
If they don't do a good job they shouldn't get some golden parachute on the way out. But that's up to the stupidity of the company and whoever makes the contracts. Not really my business

Send a message to them on their iPhone asking if they knew Apple's CEO had a compensation of $99 million for 2021.

These labels usually fit these folks:
Democrat
Never played sports
No college degree or high school diploma
College degree useless major
"Disabled"
Living at Home
Common trait: Too damn lazy to ever achieve anything meaningful, so the solution is someone should give it to me.

I bet she doesn’t even care about politicians getting magically rich on $200,000 a year salaries eh?

I don't get the obsession about company CEOs, the known wealthy, how much money someone has. That mentality of people obsessed with that have no problem getting fricked in the arse by Daddy Government though, and that's just weird.

That bothers me a lot more than what some CEO makes.

Leftists worship politicians. Of course they don't care about that.

I'm a Republican and believe that CEOs of public companies do earn more than they are usually worth. Does a single CEO worth $50M bring more value to the company than if you hired 25 executives for $2M each per year? Answer is probably no.
If it's your company, pay yourself whatever the frick you want.

I'm far from one of these "Eat the rich" lunatics, but to act as if the gap between the people at the top and the average worker isn't widening exponentially is just putting your head in the sand.

I have a friend who has went off of the deep end with this. Most people who think this way will never own anything of importance. Just because you've managed an applebee's doesn't mean you know business.

Exactly.
Anyone who worked for one of these large publicly traded corporations knows this.

It is, and it's a problem, but capping someone's earning potential is not the answer. Putting a ceiling on how much money someone can earn would kill innovation. Why bust your arse building a company, creating a product, going to medical school, etc... in that case?

I'm not for government intervention. I'd prefer a massive corporate culture change.

Absolutely. But it doesn't work that way under socialism. Heard a great story on America's 1st News about a Cuban immigrant (legal) who got his first pay check in America last month. He's about 30 y.o. and got at job at UPS.
His wife and family were celebrating. His job in Havana was as a college professor where he made $13 per month.
