I get it, and I would completely agree if the salary gap was the same for managers, HR, etc.
So the question is: why are managers, HR, etc. paid so much more than SWE in Europe? They bring less value to the company.

Doctors are paid around a 1/3 of what doctors get in the US Nurses around half Lawyers vary, but quick googling suggests it's around half to third Finance, insurance and real estate pays waaaay less Store managers at Walmart get about twice as much store managers at Lidl Europe The skew in upper management pay is even higher and on and on...
- oblio 6y agoWell, the US GNI is also higher than that of every European country minus the microstates, Norway and Switzerland. Partly because even though productivity is comparable, Americans just work more (longer hours, fewer and shorter holidays), partly because the system is just more efficient: single market, just 1 language, great centralized soft power that opens many doors.
