while i don’t think it should be a moral issue, i think we need to stop trying to make this a fair argument out of some desire to be on some high ground here. what you described is fucked up and we should give them no latitude. it is theft even if they made the laws. the staggering level of difference in energy put forth versus compensation is ridiculous. When someone makes more in an hour than their least paid employee will gross over their entire lifetime…there should be no justification for the billionaire’s existence.

Nah he is just the epitome of bigotry. He hates everyone because he is a loser and everyone who has been around him knows it. There is no fixing that.

They do understand that. The problem IS “long term.” Most C level types don’t care about any term longer than their tenure. This is why we see layoffs before quarterly reports. There isn’t an incentive for them to look any furthure into the future.

Now if a CEO could only cash out after 10 or 20 years of the company doing well then we would see change. If they made the company average untill they were a decade or two in as a vesting term then keeping happy employees would be important.

it does say to the best of his ability. so maybe he is technically doing it?
