What kind of an idiot would work for someone that they believe is stealing from them? Serfdom is only self imposed in the US. Plenty of people paid with their blood and lives to ensure that for you. If you don't like your situation you can change it. Pointing at people that make more than you and assuming that they must have stolen it from you to get paid so much is infantile thinking. You agree to your salary and benefits every day you show up for work so stop blaming other people and take a long look in the mirror.

Unfortunately, CEO pay of 333 times median worker salary is pretty close to average in the US. That's just the way it is.
Hey Kaqz-hoq, go back to Glassdoor and drink the koolaid.
Holy cr@p hoq, it's just a fun fact.
You should check your meds.
What do you think you ought to be paid to run a $40B (guessing) company with over 100k employees? There are leaders of small companies with 25 employees pulling down a few million a year so if you simply extrapolate....
Whining about people that make huge bank because you want to be like them but aren't is weak sauce dude. Howabout quit your job and start or buy a business? Yoi sure as hell aren't on track to be a future Darius by being a Honeywell serf
