I'll say it again, CEO pay ain't the problem. Did the math once for American Airlines, then McDonald's just lately. If the CEO took $0 pay, and that was spread among total employees, it amounts to chicken change.

Hell, let's take aim at Microsoft, why not.

In fiscal year 2024, Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella's total compensation was $79.1 million. This represents a 63% increase compared to his prior year's compensation of $48.5 million.

And most of that was stock, not cash.

The increase is primarily due to a significant rise in the value of his stock awards, which accounted for the majority of his compensation.

They have 228,000 employees. Spread that around and it amounts to a $347 yearly bonus. (Or, $.17/hr. if you like.) If I worked at M$, I'd be fucking insulted if that was my Christmas Bonus. Hell, my last job was at a tiny software dev and we all got 10x that much, sometimes more.

That's... obviously not what they're talking about though?

Ugh, rub those neurons together and maybe you'll get there...?
