The highest 100 paid workers earn much more than the average person.
More breaking news to follow…
Time for the annual exponential salary discussion.
You go work as a CEO and see if you can hack it. I wouldn’t want to do I can tell you that.
The amount of shit people give inside the company let alone outside. From asking “why are you still trading with Israel” every all hands to general crap. It IS a difficult job and the pay reflects that.
Tax/CGT etc is a different discussion
And yet UK executive pay is still much lower than for their US peers.
Leader of an entire global company makes more than one of the many thousands of workers working for it? Must be a slow news day.
Sure the pay could probably be reduced, but there has to be a monetary incentive for wanting to start and run entire companies with thousands of moving parts.
In other news, that chap with a funny white hat is indeed Catholic.
Nothing wrong with people earning mega bucks as long as it’s not at the expense of others. I read recently how many of the shop floor retail workers at Asda need benefits to top up their income…. If they are a full time worker then that is an absolute disgrace.
Then they end the year by getting a bonus, share incentives and dividends that also dwarf out pay, just to add to their pay. Money is a drug to these people.
I mean – what number should they be earning, and why? It’s not a trivial task to come up with a number with any kind of sound logic… I certainly don’t have a good barometer for it, apart from ‘what the market decides’
Daaaaaaamn, someone should publish their names and where they work so we can congratulate them.
This sub really is the centre-right dad hang out.
No, it’s not great and normal and fine that wealthy inequality is growing. It is an extremely serious problem for our country.
They post some version of this article every single year. It’s a completely meaningless way to compare salaries and argue whether they are or not justified, as the measure is so unintuitive. Would it be fine if the cut off date was tomorrow or next weekend instead?
