He created the company, right?
Point taken
The point is making some of that money reach the lower forces in the company.
There is a whole other solution to that issue other than limiting the ceo.
I'm all ears
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.
I like that.
Great point.
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.
The terrible education people receive limit them from understanding their own power and capability.
Those who are successful know one thing very well. Their own effort and drive is what makes or breaks.
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.
I have a terrible habit of procrastination, which is my own problem and what limits my own ability to succeed.
Yeah... tuition rates are another travesty.
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.
I made right at 93k this year in an area that has a median salary of 40k.
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.
Ignorance and victim thought gives power to these institutions.
Schools are a business too and if they have no students, they have no business.
A smart ceo will adjust rates to compete.
I think that thought back feeds from work places requiring degrees for jobs that they didn't. It only perpetuates from there.
Yep
Ignorance at it’s finest
The people in the US are way more powerful than they believe.
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.
US exceptionalism is a real thing.
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.
It sounds like you are in a government job?
Energy sector
Not govt
Slightly limiting... relocating would probably be required if you were to find a comparable position at a different company.
Unfortunately, not everyone can relocate.
So I see where your grievance could be stemming from
Does the company you work for have a monopoly over the area?
My limiting factor is being able to move.
Yep. Relocating
But that's a personal thing. The company I work for covers the entirety of the south east.
If only there were more energy companies to enable solid competition and choice.
There are plenty I'm just stuck mainly due to personal things like family and having young kids.
I used to live around Round Rock, Texas and the beautiful thing there is we had a plethora of energy companies to select from. Going into Austin though... there is a monopoly.
Makes sense. Sorry to hear you feel stuck.
