You could also keep the same salary for executives and share the savings across the employees.. which is probably what is being done. So sure, that makes the gap executives-employee seem bigger, but in reality its the same. With the advantage of a flatter hierarchy. For I have experimented some of these, I found it way more enjoyable than having 3 to 10 bosses on top of me, where you consistently spend your time: - covering your ass - covering your boss asses - discussing in meetings until another boss comes over and changes everything - having to do whatever the manager decides if its a bad manager, even thus its against the team opinion - discussing in meetings until the boss that isnt in your range of bosses decides a political coup (approx every 6month) - etc. Ie, corporate life of a low-end employee.... yeah zappo's hierachy isn't near as bad as you make it to be, in fact - and while im sure its company depend, it seems rather enjoyable.
