Assuming interchangeable human resources there are basically 2 options, either the company is extracting more value from everyone than the salaries they pay, in that case paying fairly would eat into the company's bottom line. Poor CXOs would not turn extra profits by keeping less fortunate employees on low salaries but just the regular one. Or the highest paid employees are not pulling their weight and their salaries are already subsidized by the rest of the company, which is also not quite fair. Nevertheless, I agree everyone looks at this problem from their own POV, however it should not be the norm to provide equal compensation for equal work.

Can you explain more about your view that it should not be the norm to provide equal compensation for equal work?

  It was a bad edit, it (should not be controversial | should be the norm) to expect equal compensation for equal work.

    If that's your blog, well done! I am totally on board with everything you say there. I've been thinking this way for years, thanks for articulating some more reasons why this is really important! Love your work! :)

      Thank you for taking a look. Be warned though, I'm personally affected and just as biased as everyone else on both sides of the issue.

    I understand! That's what I suspected, but wasn't sure. I tried understanding it for a minute then thought I'll just ask you! :) haha Also, thank you for the links. I'll read this because I'm interested in knowing more about thinking behind this. My instinct is in this direction regarding salaries, but I want to develop more clarity. :)
