Salaries should by law be capped at max 10 times the lowest

Careful, you might be starting to make too much sense!

Doesn't Japan have a system like that? The difference in the lowest and highest paid employee can only be so many thousands different?

[–] [email protected] 53 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Yep, my friend works in a Japanese company and his CEO only makes 3x his salary.

It’s unfortunate that it also requires you to live within shooting range of North Korea and China. Because Japan is a nice vacation spot.

Don't forget appallingly long working hours.

Oh, and don't be not Japanese

That also, I’ve never received so many stares. Like I was a vampire from Twilight, sparkling in the sun, or had a huge booger in my nose.

I'm 6'-4, imagine the stares.

Gojira! Gojira!

The rest of us live in shooting range of Russia or the US. It's not a question of if we will die, it's a question of when.

Is it law though?

Or is it something else?

Then they'd just get two jobs at the same company, and get two salaries or some other loophole the lawmakers planned for the whole time.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Preferable to 319 jobs I'd say.

You people see the fuckery, shrug your shoulders and say "eh - just let them get away with it".

Fuck that, and fuck them - don't be conned into emptying your pockets to spare them the trouble of robbing you.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I'm not saying we let them get away with it. I'm saying we bleed them in town square as an example of where greed gets them.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Then you close that loophole too as soon as you find it
