Good day boys & girls...So is it fair?? Is it fair for CEO's/executives to receive millions yearly while the mass of the employees of the companies at times doesn't get near what theses executives get. Some say its fair & they're just being rewarded for their work and school. Others say it's corporate greed. So what do you think?

Life isn't fair. Personally, I'm wondering why you chose CEOs to bash for making obscene amounts of money and not professional athletes or actors.

You are so correct! I guess entertainment is more important than anything else.
Never argue with idiots, they'll just bring you down to their level and beat you with their experience.

yes, it's fair. They put in more hours than most if not all of their people, they run the greater risk (financial and legal both) in case things go wrong, and their job is extremely stressful.

And as Narue said already: life ain't fair. If your boss makes more than you because he's the boss, so be it.
If you don't like it, become your own boss and see if you can do better (you almost certainly can't if you think things should be "fair").
As people are clearly allowed to attack me but I'm not allowed to defend myself, I no longer post to this site.

Sounds convincing to me! Besides, if you are young and work hard enough, you have an incentive to eventually replace the old boss.

I agree. Life's a bi***. Get over it. And as Narue has said, athletes receive a much higher salary than most CEOs. And what for? Physical activity? Hell, most athletes get paid more than doctors.. more than congressmen.. more than the president! It doesn't make much sense. I'm all for taking half athletes' salaries and distributing it out to doctors(or engineers ) and other professionals who actually contribute to society.

We live in a capatilistic (sort of anyway) society. CEOs should get whatever companies are willing to pay them, even if its millions of $$$ and lots of benefits.
Don't PM me with questions -- you might get a nasty PM in response. If you have a question then post it in one of the forums.

So you believe that everyone who works at the company ... from the President, to VPs, to CEOs, to CFOs, to managers, to sales personnel, to tech support personnel, to code monkeys, to the janitors, should all be paid equally ... regardless of experience level, education, the stress level of the job, the amount of time they devote to the job, and how much money they make for the company?

That would be communism.. and that is not fair. You spend twice the time in college as someone else, have twice the experience, but get paid the same? Hmmm...
