Yes it's an absolute abomination to our economy

2021-01-08 18:30:47 UTC  

The ceo needs money to grow the company and expand services/products. Limiting his/her funds makes no sense.

2021-01-08 18:31:11 UTC  

No I mean the ceo's personal gain

2021-01-08 18:31:19 UTC  

Why?

2021-01-08 18:31:29 UTC  

He created the company, right?

2021-01-08 18:31:45 UTC  

Point taken

2021-01-08 18:32:33 UTC  

The point is making some of that money reach the lower forces in the company.

2021-01-08 18:33:18 UTC  

There is a whole other solution to that issue other than limiting the ceo.

2021-01-08 18:33:30 UTC  

I'm all ears

2021-01-08 18:36:41 UTC  

Self empowerment allows the individual to understand they are not a victim and do not have to maintain employment within a company. If they feel the ceo’s values do not align with their own, they have the ability to leave. If enough were to believe that and leave a bad ceo, he/she would be best suited to change their style and practices to suit his/her employees. CEOs are held up by the workforce. If they have no workforce, they have no capital gain... and thus no business.

2021-01-08 18:37:26 UTC  

I like that.

2021-01-08 18:37:31 UTC  

Great point.

2021-01-08 18:37:48 UTC  

That was the issue back before the unions were popularized. People believed they were victims and had no choice in the matter. So they begged the government to allow representation from unions to “punish” ceos.

2021-01-08 18:38:48 UTC  

The terrible education people receive limit them from understanding their own power and capability.

2021-01-08 18:39:18 UTC  

Those who are successful know one thing very well. Their own effort and drive is what makes or breaks.

2021-01-08 18:39:48 UTC  

Yeah it's a tough thing to do when people start out their lives in so much debt mainly due to college cost inflation. It's basically entrapment.

2021-01-08 18:40:01 UTC  

I have a terrible habit of procrastination, which is my own problem and what limits my own ability to succeed.

2021-01-08 18:40:24 UTC  

Yeah... tuition rates are another travesty.

2021-01-08 18:41:54 UTC  

People back in the 60's could work a part time job and have college paid off by the time they graduate. I'm still paying on mine almost a decade later and I make a decent salary.

2021-01-08 18:42:35 UTC  

I made right at 93k this year in an area that has a median salary of 40k.

2021-01-08 18:42:36 UTC  

But... in all honesty... the belief that you have to pay exorbitant rates for a good education is what allows private and public universities to charge those rates. If people understood their education is in their own hands (internet) and they don’t have to get the most expensive degree at the most expensive school to be “recognized”, then the tuition issue would solve itself in time.

2021-01-08 18:42:51 UTC  

Ignorance and victim thought gives power to these institutions.

2021-01-08 18:43:40 UTC  

Schools are a business too and if they have no students, they have no business.

2021-01-08 18:43:56 UTC  

A smart ceo will adjust rates to compete.

2021-01-08 18:44:22 UTC  

I think that thought back feeds from work places requiring degrees for jobs that they didn't. It only perpetuates from there.

2021-01-08 18:44:34 UTC  

Yep

2021-01-08 18:44:45 UTC  

Ignorance at it’s finest

2021-01-08 18:45:13 UTC  

The people in the US are way more powerful than they believe.

2021-01-08 18:46:14 UTC  

Like I wanted to apply for an environmental position at my work and the guy before had no degree. When they post his position it now requires a bs/ms in environmental science or equivalent.

2021-01-08 18:46:26 UTC  

US exceptionalism is a real thing.

2021-01-08 18:47:38 UTC  

It definitely sounds unfair, but do you have to stand for it? Nope. You have the freedom to go work for someone with integrity. But it all depends on situations of course.

2021-01-08 18:47:51 UTC  

It sounds like you are in a government job?

2021-01-08 18:48:21 UTC  

Energy sector

2021-01-08 18:48:28 UTC  

Not govt

2021-01-08 18:49:15 UTC  

Slightly limiting... relocating would probably be required if you were to find a comparable position at a different company.

2021-01-08 18:49:34 UTC  

Unfortunately, not everyone can relocate.

2021-01-08 18:50:02 UTC  

So I see where your grievance could be stemming from

2021-01-08 18:50:37 UTC  

Does the company you work for have a monopoly over the area?

2021-01-08 18:50:45 UTC  

My limiting factor is being able to move.

2021-01-08 18:50:54 UTC  

Yep. Relocating

2021-01-08 18:51:51 UTC  

But that's a personal thing. The company I work for covers the entirety of the south east.
