> Sundar Pichai's job is to make sure Google has enough revenue to keep paying all those $500k+ engineers.
No, it is not. His job is to maximize profit, and his personal goal is to earn as much as possible. To say that the CEOs goal is to make money so employees have salaries is a very strange statement.
> If Google's revenue is at risk, the stock plunges and Sundar is out of a job.
Google revenue is not at risk, but many engineers are already out of a job. Sundar job is only at risk if the board is not happy with him.
> it seems like a remarkably fair arrangement.
No, it is not. That the people that earn more money is not the ones that produce the most but the ones that protect the rich is far from fair.
