      It’s not about better or worse. It’s about being correct and understanding the people and societal structures at work here

      If you aren’t interested in knowing how and why CEOs get paid, maybe don’t make dumbass memes about this subject.

      Or do. I don’t give a shit. But good luck having people believe you if you can’t even get the basics correct. Or otherwise feel good that your online culture got infiltrated by blatant misinformation.

        Sure, I’ll bite: Why are we paying CEOs such exorbitant salaries while the workforce struggles?

          The board of directors is doing so. And they do so because the board follows the will of the shareholders. And the shareholders ultimately decide the fate of companies.

          But that won’t fit in a simple meme will it?

            The goal of the shareholders is to pay huge sums to the C-suite? That seems at odds with maximizing dividends for themselves.
