I know you have an agenda but anybody who knows fucking anything about american tech knows the wages aren’t low like… well pretty much everywhere else. My 120k estimation of headcount costs are WAYYYYYY lower than what ziprecruiter thinks the median wage at microsoft is ($115,590). https://www.ziprecruiter.com/Salaries/Microsoft-Salary
Usually about 30% of the cost of an employee are things that are not wages. So that 115kish is only 70% of the total nut, give or take.
I’m not for ludicrous senior executive pay. The real problem isn’t even that though, it’s the legal obligation to make as much money as possible for the ownership class. There is no obligation for employers to really do fucking anything for their employees beyond what the law mandates - and US labor laws are a fucking joke.
everybody has an agenda. It’s just the scary word for “opinion” or “bias”. You obviously have an agenda trying to handwring about the precise number employees at Microsoft get paid rather than focus on the point - CEOs get big bonuses while they “have” to cut back and fire employees.
People love looking at a figurehead and drawing the conclusion “That person is the problem!!!”
The problem is never just one person. Especially in this case, the problem is systematic, pervasive and the solution is utterly at odds with society as it functions today.
Now what someone does with that information is going to depend on the person. I guess my agenda comes down to wanting to direct people to the bigger picture and to stop keeping their head perpetually down staring at a person who has several masters above them pulling the strings. You can look upwards and address the source while also changing the rules that apply to the figurehead as well, no?
To pose a hypothetical: If you eliminate all CEOs everywhere all at once the rest of the executives will just step up and the board and ownership will just carry on their way. It won’t fix the problem. If you make it so their comp is limited to no more than what the lowest paid person makes, you’re just going to make a supreme court judge situation where the person on top will be a puppet for whoever is willing to bribe them the best in ways that are not easily tracked.
You got a source for that? Or are you just bootlicker for Microsoft?
I don’t really care either way because you’re defending billionair ceos.
Imagine going to bat for Microsoft of all corporations.
How am I a bootlicker?
