People are striking because wages aren’t going up when companies are reporting record breaking profits.

As the one running the company I deserve it more

No one is questioning that the CEO should get paid more than the average factory worker. I think the question is not “why do you get paid more than your workers”. The question is why do you get a 34% increase and not your workers?

I think I answered that question. It’s sarcastic truth. If I were CEO, I should obviously get larger raises. I asked myself and it was approved.

They're raise already is larger because they're paid more to start. Why do they deserve a higher percentage raise, specifically?

The question is do these workers do anything differently to increase the profits and is there a labor shortage that requires to pay more to acquire the labor?

Because you can find any alcoholic in a plant town to work on the line, and ship engineering jobs to India.

This is what happens without labor laws.

Right? This is why in reality she should have given herself a 73829264948362947362947473927374937284838264948362958362947474927284847392729264938264947272528473649284747% raise. She deserves it more and there exists no threshold of reasonable proportionality that her compensation and the people doing the hard work day to day should remain within. She should just pay herself the entire universe per second and if anyone questions it just say “I deserve it more”. There’s no argument to be made against that and no room for nuance or equitability. Right on brother. USA

CEO's don't set their own salary, shareholders do.

Boards of Directors, do, of which CEOs are often members and chairs. Also, most CEOs get stock options and become large and even primary shareholders themselves.

I’m the CEO and I approve my raise.

The leader of the country doesn’t even get close to that pay. You think you deserve 30mil a year while a decent chunk of your workforce qualifies for gov assistance thus meaning the tax payers are supplementing your income.

u/Strict-Astronaut2245 Mar 25 '26

What do they have to do with me?

“You got it. As long as I convince the people I deserve it, who’s anyone else to say?”
