Thinking CEOs do little is rather naive. On average they work same number of hours but the amount of stress they’re under is much higher than average.

than like a firefighter or a cop or a soldier? Most people aren't saying that CEOs don't deserve more pay than the average worker but the rich continuing to get richer hasn't ever really worked out for the rich in the long run. The bottom line is how much wealth/income inequality does a society want to accept. You have 2 paths ignore it and it will get more extreme or try to steer the ship towards a more equitable society. not a completely equitable society because that's impossible and people don't seem to work that well under that system, but there should be a goal in the middle somewhere.

  you are arguing so many things i didnt bring up

    No, they're making a counterpoint to your comment about amount of time worked and stress levels. You can't just say "oh I don't like that argument, everything I didn't mention therefore has nothing to do with this" You should also be aware the number of hours worked has nothing to do with actual output or value

      Nah, this just reads like raging redditor stuff actually. Honestly, go back to Reddit. I thought this was an entrepreneurial site? The people here are distinctly familiar with how insane the workload and stress levels are for starting and running successful companies. You know, the reality of it.

        People can also be familiar with the insane work load of trying to support a family on three part time jobs as a single parent that don't provide insurance

        yea those jobs require negative competence compared to being a CEO

        So being a CEO requires someone to be 7000 times as competent? I highly doubt that Do you honestly think that someone working a minimum wage job doesn't deserve to be able to afford to live just by working one? Do you think that if someone isn't as competent as you would like them to be, they should just die? If you genuinely believe that, you should be ashamed of yourself Worker's pay needs to come up or CEO pay needs to go way down. Preferably both

As opposed to whom? Which same hours are you suggesting they work? I'm a little confused by your comment here.
