I'm not sure making more is expected. In my other comment I mentioned e.g. sports teams or quant trading as examples where even average performing subordinates can make more than their managers. But yes, the decoupling of manager pay (fast growing) from subordinate pay (slow growing) is frightening. I don't see any evidence that the world gets more value from the activity of management now than previously, and in fact I see tons of evidence, say even just Moral Mazes to start, that managers actively destroy value for society in many cases.

I'm not worried about them making more than their subordinates so much, it's not a job I'd want to do. I've often wondered if we could improve the org charts though, so we don't have things like managers making technical decisions that should be left up to there subordinates. And so they can't push down work that is part of management, like filling out timesheets.
