But work is work. If you're doing it for the benefit of a business only because they're paying you to do it then that is the literal definition of work. Just because it's not hard work doesn't mean it's not work?
Besides, that number isn't self-reported numbers, it's from a study I read recently, and it was included as a tangentially related point. I could try and track it down if you like.
It's also important to note that not every CEO is a billionaire of a megacorp. There are millions of small business owners who are also CEOs.
You shouldn't be getting downvoted for your numbers. I would believe, especially in smaller businesses that the CEOs actually work. Hell, the CEO at my company is a great guy. I meet with him every week and he is there all day with us. There is another layer though, which is the managing partners. They fill the traditional role of the boogeyman CEO people imagine. So we aren't necessarily mad at the position. We're mad at the inequality in pay with no tangible or even existent contribution. Especially when these people are taking such a large portion of what could honestly be spread around to make everyone comfortable, at least in my specific situation.
Oh boy, this will look funny next to my reply.
Fully agree with you, the black and white thinking and the hyperboles used are putting me of Lemmy.
Unfortunately it's not a "Lemmy issue" it's an "Internet issue." You're more likely to get engagement from those that disagree rather than from those who already agree.
how does that corporate business casual loafer taste?
I don't think being inflammatory is helping the situation. I've been surprised before, and just because I'm net negative doesn't mean lurkers haven't read it and listened.
Every day, I see more and more people on Lemmy complaining about Lemmy.
