Wikipedia says that Disney has 201,000 employees, so that's $328 for each employee he's responsible for. Alternatively, he makes .11% of what Disney brings in each year in revenue.
The scale of the company is absurd, but his compensation doesn't seem to out of whack for it.
- megaremote 7y ago> doesn't seem to out of whack for it. And that is part of the problem. Somehow this has become ok, but workers unable to live on a single wage is not.
- HeyZuess 7y agoI believe you are on the right track. It's the iceberg issue, no matter how much the CEO makes it's the factors at the bottom which make the difference, i.e. how much workers get paid in general. However in saying that we live in a culture and climate which pays people somewhat (mostly) on the value of the services/skills they provide. So if you're a janitor, then you are probably going to get a low salary and it would be hard to justify increasing that salary simply because the cost of living is high. If this guy earns $660,000 or $66m, the problem at the lower end still exists.
