Be cognizant of the impact of ratios at work here, Google’s parent company Alphabet looks pretty good with only 29:1, but that is because its median worker pay is so high comparatively. I’m also seeing Accenture on the “naughty” list at 1526:1 but that could be because Accenture has a significant employee base in lower income countries (such as India) while its CEO is in a high income country. It may not be indicative of equal standards of living for where each resides.
Aptiv is another global company that drives that ratio really high by using labor in developing countries wherever possible. That shouldn’t exempt them though, because in order to get hired in their developed country locations you effectively need a relevant PhD or an MBA and connections. Just because the labor they are exploiting is foreign does not mean they are not exploiting labor.
I think there must be some sort of mistake. Warren Buffett is the CEO of berkshire hathaway, and I’m sure he makes way more than the stated 5:1…
I’m sure he does, too, but how much of his income comes from Berkshire Hathaway and how much comes from his other endeavors and investments?
Fun little loop hole, I guess, but it kind of skews the data. But I’m nit picking.
You have to pay tax on income

You have to pay tax on realized capital gains too (of which Buffet makes most of his spending money I’m guessing), but at a lower rate than income.

You’d likely be wrong. Most people with significant stock holdings get their spending money from small to no interest loans with the stocks as security.
One of the many ways in which the ultra-rich can and will game the system in ways not available to regular people.
Also one of the main reasons why unrealized gains need to be taxed.
Yeah agreed. The richest of people don’t even spend money. They literally take loans out against their exorbitant wealth and pay back such a tiny percentage that everyone who is rich wins, including them, because it’s just a calculated figure on how much they can continue to make off their capital gains
Berkshire is a holding company, most of the employees work for subsidiaries.
We’re just allowed to post hit lists now? Nice.
is that yearly wage because holy shit if your yearly is in the 4 digits range you need to be fucking rioting regardless of CEO pay
This includes foreign labor so that would explain this. There are countries in the world were you can
lovelive comfortably on a four figure salary (I’m from one of them).It’s still exploitation.
To think I’d only need to double my income to be rich beyond what I can consume on my own as opposed to barely scraping by. And now the average CEO makes 100x that. Anybody feeling like going Postal?
yes
Notably this list is S&P 500 which is a stock market tracker, so it does not include any privately traded companies.
This seems to be saying that AirBnB workers are getting nearly$300k per annum. I call bullshit.
Sounds about right for a tech company tbh
Obviously this is prolly includes their white collar corpo drones, ie security and janitors are subcontracted out to some sweat shop that violates their contracts and labor laws in normal course of business
The CEO pay is hilariously misrepresented as well. The Airbnb CEO might not get a huge salary compared to some of the others but he gets monstrous pay packages. He got $120 million in bonuses and stocks alone a few years ago.
Same goes for all CEOs. They typically wrap an ass ton of their “income” into bonuses and stocks options.
You might be misunderstanding the AirBnB business model.
So all the back office functions (that any company needs to function regardless of the product/service they provide) are earning hundreds of thousands of dollars? No way.
Does it include cleaners? Most offices seem to hire external companies so don’t hire cleaners themselves, or any of the “menial” jobs required to have a functioning office. Might hide much worse jobs
Needs a few more pixels. Can’t read shit.
another great hit list
It’s all blurry gramps, can you upload a higher res image?
I think there’s something wrong with your device, gramps.
Shit on mine, too
