"the bosses of America’s largest companies got an average pay rise of 17.6% in 2017, taking home an average of $18.9m in compensation while their employees’ wages stalled, rising just 0.3% over the year."
That's the worst part of it. Companies are split up in two sections. One that benefits from the company's success while others get almost nothing. I see that in my company. In meetings they celebrate increased revenue and earnings. When I look around almost nobody except a few top guys I see benefits from that success and instead has to wonder when his job goes to India.
There was a discussion here about increasing employee participation. I really think we should get away from the belief that only shareholders count but also acknowledge that employees and even the communities where the company has its buildings have a stake.
