Your charicature of the relationship between a CEO and his worker is very poor
six figures
depends on the size of the company
the pay should depend on the skill of the job
you are wrong
im very very right
pay is determined by many things and high salaries for business creators is necessary to incentivize entrepreneurship
they are paid more in part because they have assumed risk
often business owners earn less per hour than their employees
that's true for small businesses
and there are many instances where workers are paid fairly, and business owners receive a fair salary
but all too often, especially when we're talking about large corporations
way too much of the surplus value congregates to the top of the hierarchy
which is where exploitation lies
the labour force is not paid their fair share of the surplus value -they- generate
I agree that capitalism is vuknerable to corruption and exploitation. However, I do not have much sympathy for the retail worker who makes minimum wage while his company's executives make much more.
Nobody has lost in that scenario
your obsession with "justice" is foolish
i think the executive deserves more due to the skill it takes to do that job, but executives are usually overpaid with money that the labour force created
who are you to decide that
there is inefficiency in every system
who is the executive to live off of money he or she didnt generate lmao
so you're jealous or something?
what?
why do you care if you have a good enough wage?
what a weird accusation
all too often wages simply arent good enough
and besides, its an injustice of exploitation
your idea that there is a specific amount of money each person deserves and that any receipt beyond that is injustice is ridiculous
the worker isn't receiving their share of the surplus value they create
> *Why do you care if you have a good enough wage*
***So you can live without massive debt***
buddy
exactly
so you can live without debt, without worrying about your next meal, rent, and so on
people live on the breadline
and beyond that, they simply shouldn't be exploited
Look, I can't tell you that the system works as it is because it doesn't
i never wanted u to tell me that
All I can say is that the humble worker and the CEO are not enemies. They are two necessary parts of the same effort, and in the majority of cases their relationship is good and they both enjoy the fruits of their cooperation.
