The pay gap between executives and their employees has widened from 2024 to 2025, with chief executives making 312 times what their median worker earned, according to the AFL-CIO, the largest coalition of labour unions in the United States.
That’s up from the previous rate of 285 times the median worker salary for executives working in the companies listed on the S&P 500 index.
why do shareholders tolerate ballooning ceo pay? they think number still go up more overall if big idiot get more of the profit?

Corporations are the only ‘persons’ which should be subjected to capital punishment, but trillionaires should be forced to transition into billionaires, and billionaires should be euthanised through taxation.
Hello, I’d like one CEO job please.
No one can ever convince me it’s more efficient paying someone $200k instead of two people $100k to get a thing done.
only works if so few people know how to do something they can command the 200 and an extra person would contribute nothing.
