Maybe it's just me, but I'm not really mad at how much the CEO of the big tech company I work at makes, it really has no impact on me. If we took his compensation and spread it around, no-one would feel it.
I was much more irked by the difference between founder/early employee stakes at a startup where the magnitude of the difference was much smaller than 312x, but redistributing their stake would actually have been felt due to the smaller size.
- aeternus 8y agoHow much risk did those founders take though? Consider the salary they could have made at a large company and that they effectively invested 100% of that at seed-stage multiples. (Assuming they were taking zero salary early on). There was significant risk the founders investment in the form of time could have gone to zero, they deserve some return on that risk.
