CEOs make 380x as much as the average worker?

Is this before or after bonuses are applied?

It also makes me realize just how much some of these CEO's get paid. I look at the CEO of the company I work for and think "Wow, he makes more in 1 year than I make in 10." He is paid ~$400k/year with ~$300k more on top of that for a bonus. We are a ~100M/year company.

You know what bonus the everyday worker that slaves at his job working 60-70/week gets? Nothing. His hard work goes into making the company money and getting the units completed and shipped out on time so that the CEO and other big boys can reap the benefits.

It truly does suck.

and if someone with no clue would make your job, your company would still make 100m, if someone with no clue would have the ceo's job, your company would make 50 million less. if he makes some millions more than someone who would earn only 100k per year, he totally deserves it. and you can't pay a ceo of a 100m company the same as a doctor in a hospital, that would be a joke.

but bonuses should be only paid with success. i hate seeing a company losing 5 billion and the ceo is getting 10m bonus wtf?

CEO of my company used to work a job just like mine and in a position just above my own. The guy didn't go back to college until his mid to late 30's. So next time before coming in to talk about how useless my position is, you should know first what you're talking about.

Thanks for implying that I work a job that a clueless person could perform. Must have went straight over your head that I make over 50-60k per year. The "clueless" person would get the stockroom position where he gets ~25k/year. Although to be honest with you, even those stockroom guys could just be young kids still going to school and looking for some income.

 

Also, do not think that the CEO and the CEO alone is the one who drives the company to success. Don't discredit all the people who work right below him.

 

 

 

Also, I do agree that success should be rewarded. However, I do not believe that success is all due to the CEO and the big dogs right below him since, believe it or not, the mechanics working on the floor at my job are the ones who actually assemble those wingtips, leading edges, fuel panels, etc... for the various military fighters we use here in the US. Surely their hard work was important too and they should be rewarded as well, no?
