This dynamic seems almost inevitable as a company grows. It's not necessarily bad, as long as the people doing the work are recognized and compensated.
- creshal 4mo ago> as long as the people doing the work are recognized and compensated. Are the 15% getting 80% of the compensation, though?
- Schlagbohrer 4mo agoIf that one person is the CEO or owner then yes, haha.
- slibhb 4mo agoNo, but would you want this? People who contribute more should be paid more, but mapping compensation to contribution exactly isn't easy and comes with downsides.
- 4lx87 4mo agoNo, those are the shareholders who don’t produce anything.
- eudamoniac 4mo agoYou think stock dividends pay out 4x the amount of money that the company pays for salaries?
- loneboat 4mo agoRound your "~15%" up to 20%, and you've just discovered the Pareto Princlple: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pareto_principle https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pareto_principle, aka "The 80/20 rule".
