I was planning to donate the couple bucks I had left over from the year to the charity called “San Diego Zoo Wildlife Alliance”, I was doing a background check on CharityNavigator and they gave the charity full ratings so it seemed good.

Then I stumbled upon the salary section. What the fuck? I earn <20k a year and was planning to contribute to someone’s million dollar salary? WHAT.

I always hear this argument, and it seems like straight up CEO propaganda. I remember how failing businesses HAVE TO hire multi million dollar CEOs and fire employees becuase how else will they get good leadership!

Motherfucker, your previous CEO also had the same salary and sent you into bankruptcy.

No, a company definitely doesn't have to pay their CEOs generously, and not all do. The median pay for a CEO is actually about 250k/yr.

Though if we just look at CEOs from S&P 500 companies, that jumps up to 16 million. There's going to be a lot of factors involved, from the size of the company to the cost of living in the area. A CEO in San Francisco is probably going to make a lot more than one in Milwaukee.

It's less propaganda and more just understanding how the capitalist system is intended to function. It applies to other jobs as well, a software engineer can make quite a wide range of pay, depending on who they work for. Then they can also get increased pay for advancing up the ranks of their organization, as promotions often involve raises.

There is a market reason for doing that. If not there competition would've hired the budget CEO.

Just wait until you learn how much the US president makes. We should really be outsourcing government officials.

The the amount of work and responsibilities the presidency is actually waaay underpaid. CEOs on the other hand get paid like they run the world, while in reality they are just sucking dick.

In fact CEOs run the world. Think of Amazon, Microsoft, Apple, Tesla... You name it.
