    CEO compensation vs employee compensation.

    CEO pay has skyrocketed in comparison to the pay of the employees, this needs to change.

      Why is that an issue? If they are the founder of the company I think they deserve it, and if not, there must be some logical reason why they pay that person so much…

        I’d bet most people can get behind the idea that those in leadership positions or saddled with greater responsibility should be compensated more. The issue for me is the magnitude of that compensation.

        If they are the founder, they are likely not a public company yet and can grant themselves stock at great rates. Most do-ers aren’t CEOs, they are busy doing.
