CEO Wages Lag Behind Productivity

[Complex Systems]

Despite massive gains in profits, CEO's aren't seeing rising wages. Likewise, women voters can't help but fawn over sexist GOP candidates. I'm not sure which one is more of a joke.

You didn't get what I said. The reason why these CEO's are making money while you are making less is because they own you. You are a slave to them.

Does direct compensation include stock options? I recall a laughable trend of paying oneself a dollar per year, which obviously supplies all the calories a CEO needs to live.

$.50 for showing up to work, $.50 for performance. Oh, and blackmailing the board of directors into stock options large enough to incur a justice department lawsuit.

Direct compensation = their wages, if I remember correctly.

But CEOs aren't paid wages. They earn a salary.

A fat big, bloated salary.

From what I'd read, they were rising despite their failures a couple years back. While, of course, their employees have been making on average about the same amount they did forty years ago (accounting for price level rises, I assume).

No, a commission is more what the pimp allows the whore to keep after she's sucked a c**k.

So why not use the profits to hire more people and get us out of this hole they put us in?
