The UAW must not be getting a big enough cut.Yeah I was astonished that the UAW did not accept that offer.

I am quite sure you have to be an ambitious and intelligent workaholic to make it to the CEO level. I agree that it is a stressful job.All I'll respectfully say is IMHO you don't fully understand what a CEO does, what to takes to get there, the value a good one brings to a company, or why jobs are compensated the way they are.
Seriously???
Are you seriously paying $29K a year in premiums???
even thinking about change makes people uncomfortable and people don't like to be uncomfortable.I would change the word never learn to never change. Most people don't like or want change.
It happened with this company but it so far has turned out to be a happily ever after Cinderella story:Imagine the outrage among skilled positions if the company paid unskilled workers the same...
i'm sorry but i do not remember the name of the book i read but it's basically about the American aristocracy and how inbred the management of these huge american companies are.I am quite sure you have to be an ambitious and intelligent workaholic to make it to the CEO level. I agree that it is a stressful job.
But that has always been the case. However between 1978 and 2019 the average CEO salary increased 1007.5% while the average worker's salary only rose 11.9%. The average CEO now makes 278 times the salary of the average worker. They make that much because they can, not because they are worth it. Today the upper level Corporate Officers and Corporate Board of Directors is a closed group of over-compensated individuals who give each other mostly undeserved pay raises. You are far far more likely to be born into that elite, closed group than you are to to work your way into it. There are exceptions (mainly entrepreneurs) but they are the exception rather than the rule. To say that they are overly brilliant is not always the case. To say they have good morals is not always the case either.
Sort of....I've done payment processing....there are no 'skilled' workers.It happened with this company but it so far has turned out to be a happily ever after Cinderella story:
CEO on why giving all employees minimum salary of $70,000 still "works" six years later: "Our turnover rate was cut in half"
In 2015, CEO Dan Price raised the salary of everyone at his Seattle-based credit card processing company Gravity Payments to at least $70,000 a year.www.cbsnews.com
I have said it before and I will say it again: I learn something new everyday on this forum. Never heard of this man until I saw your post. Thanks for sharing Diesel.I'll toss out a name: Edward Bernays.
