We need to get rid of that crap

No more like merit based reward systems

Pay people what they are worth and what they contribute... not based on “political correctness feeling fixing” crap

Even in jobs that pay decent the same issues prevail

The people who work hard never get promoted because they carry their teammates....leads to stagnation

In other words remove socialism from the US work force.

Regulations and high business tax limit available resource allocation. When combined with minimum wage, the available funds to pay based on merits is limited.

I agree

Ban unions too

That's when the federal government gives tax breaks to the business and tax companies that utilize foreign resources more heavily.

But you have to do something to ensure that the money isn't just shoved in the ceo's pockets.

The foreign crap needs to stop in my opinion. Seeking out cheaper employment and punishing companies with higher taxes for employing internally makes no sense.

Yes it's an absolute abomination to our economy

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

No I mean the ceo's personal gain

Why?

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.
