A place to discuss positive changes that can make work more equitable, and to vent about current practices. We are NOT against work; we just want the fruits of our labor to be recognized better.

"average top CEO compensation was $15.6 million in 2021, up 9.8% since 2020. In 2021, the ratio of CEO-to-typical-worker compensation was 399-to-1 under the realized measure of CEO pay; that is up from 366-to-1 in 2020 and a big increase from 20-to-1 in 1965 and 59-to-1 in 1989"

The funny thing is, you can remove a CEO, and the company will still keep running. Remove workers and the company can't function. Looks like "compensation" is going to the wrong people.

You could replace the work of most boardroom executives with a well trained AI tbh.

Not that well trained. Pretty sure SmarterChild would suffice.

In some cases (cough Twitter cough), you can skip the whole software thing and replace the pure silicone of a computer with any slab digged out from the ground.

Pet rock would do less damage for sure.
