Seems like a no brainer to me.

Especially when no cars can be made without the workers whereas that's not the case if the CEO isn't there.

Other than make money and get shit on by the internet, what do CEOs really even do in a day? Read a few proposals, sign a few contracts, golf? I want a side-by-side comparison of the value-per hour the C-suite generates for the business compared to that of its workers. Pay ratio should be a lot closer to that ratio.

Had this conversation at work with my VP. My CEO spends a lot of time lobbying/wining and dining with people about improving healthcare coverage for Americans... but we all know how coverage has been going..

that's a tough job.. wining and dining everyone for very little progress. Poor guy can't even afford his own private jet, he has to share it with another CEO.
