all cynicisms aside, if my presence makes an impact then you bet I'd like to be there too and it just so happens execs make calls that matter at the end of the day so they're more likely to want to be present. salaried workers are labourers, having no say in company affairs, and it's little wonder that they feel like they're needed there. to do the work sure, but actual engagement? hard ask as they are decoupled (rightly or wrongly) from decision making therefore cut from the profit.
ps. having stock/options doesn't help either, it's about control and agency and less so about ownership and profit
