They have the highest accountability.
- galleywest200 3y agoBut do they do the most for the company, though? What about those who actually invent their products in R&D, or any of that?
- TheHappyOddish 3y agoI've yet to come across a company that pays the highest output individuals the most. That's not how capitalism works.
