I'm sorry if I come across as mean. Bleeding heart leftists just make me . . . well kind of sick.
What makes you think that i'm a "bleeding heart leftist"?
I'm sorry, but seriously?
No i'm being serious. My basic point in this thread topic is ultimately taking better care of your employees if you are a multimillionaire or billionaire business owner or CEO. I'm not calling for government intrusion or redistribution of wealth. Just calling for leaders to consider a smaller gap between your lowest level employee and the top employee in the organizational chart.
What don't you understand about the fact that you are paid what you are worth.
Hey, I made a GREAT tasting cake, do you think I can charge $1000 a piece while the other guy is charging $5 a piece for the same cake? Hey the other cake might not be as great tasting, but it is definitely worth the $5 rather than $1000 per slice.
Businesses have expenses and sometimes it takes YEARS before they even see a profit. Businesses have limitations on what they can pay, and they are going to pay based on the worth and value of the employee. If you are an employee that can be easily replaced and you demand too much, then you will be replaced and have NO job. This is the way of the world and this way encourages people to be more innovative and more fair in the long run.
I understand all of that. I’m just thinking of how can the process be made to be better or more equitable.
Simple, you acquire the education or skill to make better money. Don't worry about what somebody else is making. Worry about what you need to make. If you're not making enough, it's up to you (not a CEO) to make yourself worth more. That's all.
