Company A and Company B pay their CEOs the same thing. Company A has 1000 employees and pays an average salary of $50k/yr. Company B has 500 employees and pays an average salary of $100k/yr. Company A is taxed, but Company B is not. Is that fair?
- adolph 6y agoWhat does fair have to do with it?
- PowerBar 6y agoIt's definitely not fair to the employees of company B (assuming the jobs are equivalent).
- bumby 6y ago>extra tax on any big company that pays its highest-paid employee over 100 times more than its median worker Small nit, but the law evokes measuring against the median wage not the average. Besides that, from the wording of the article it seems like they have a different goal than your argument. Your post reads as if they should be optimizing for the number of employees rather than more pay equity.
- programmertote 6y agoCan you explain a bit more on what you are alluding to? This new law is not related to employee count (i.e. the size of the firm). It takes into account the median salary at the firm AND how much the CEO makes. I'm trying to understand what you are trying to argue here.
