- perl4ever 7y ago"managing 1000 workers is 1000 times more valuable than the work those workers do" sounds like it's referring to the total work. At least it's ambiguous and ill-phrased if it means one worker.
- mlyle 7y agoThat's the thing. If a top executive even makes the tiniest productivity impact across his organization compared to the next best candidate, he has enriched shareholders significantly compared to his comp. This is what makes competition for top executives intense, and fuels the crazy pay.
