    Maybe that CEO will also quit, because other companies offer them a higher salary.

    It’s so easy to say they should just pay their CEO less. I mean, I get it, it’s a ridiculous amount of money that no one needs. But few people, who are qualified for that job, will just do it out of the goodness of their hearts for a salary far below industry standards.

      what the fuck could the CEO possibly do for a company that seems to just fucking zombie its way along, it does literally nothing and hasnt died, what could the CEO possibly be qualified for, it’s not like they’re gaining more market share from having a good product

      This shit right here is why we have capitalism and classes, peolle believing a ceo does something so special no one could possibly do it.

      Shit might be true for things like software development, science stuff not some overpaid C level exec.

      CEOs do nothing. They rake in millions, and hire advisors to tell them what to do

        What I primarily meant by that, is that you do need some knowledge about financials. Which isn’t hard to learn, but the group of people willing to learn about it has very little overlap with the people willing to do something out of the goodness of their heart.

        Too expensive. Just get someone undocumented to do it for pennies, then threaten to deport them if they ask for a raise.
