This is why there needs to be teeth to the laws that limit pay inequality within a firm ; if the CEO of the firm can only make X amount the median or mean (whichever is lower) salary of any person who does work for a firm (including contractors!) then we can hopefully push back on this cost of living BS.
Basically, the work is worth something and if we do the work, we should be paid a reasonable amount, regardless of where we sat when we did the work.

- necrotic_comp 6y agoThe point is that within the firm, there can't be that much disparity in pay - if the CEO wants to make several million dollars a year, he needs to justify that by paying his employees an appropriate amount. If we're talking knowledge work, the work product is the work product, and it doesn't matter where it's generated - the person in Libya has as much right to earn $200k as the American.
