Socialists would want to cut c suite pay to redistribute to workers. The workers are all expendable lower skilled assets, they wouldn’t even have jobs but for the ceo/leadership that created the company and made it successful enough to hire people.
Folks are too soft sometimes now. She was right on the money, I watched her speech.

I can understand both POV's. BUT, her delivery of the message was off. She's demanding for the workers to hit the $26 milly goal, and without a good team, she won't achieve that and will have to answer to the board/shareholders. Each employee is a business within a business, and in a business relationship, it has to be a 2-way street and a win-win for both parties. The CEO needs a good team just as much as a good team needs a good CEO. I don't think it's so much as the workers feel like they need to get CEO pay, but, a little something, whether monetary or not, goes a long way. Even if there are no bonuses, there is a certain way to say things, and the way she did was out of touch.
It's one thing if there are no bonuses given the state of the economy/health of the company, and I'm sure most employees will understand. But berating employees like that will kill morale and motivation. A happy and appreciated employee will always do more than what is expected of them. Me personally, I know what I bring to the table, and it's my nature to be the best at whatever I do and no one will outwork me and will always go the extra mile. But if you kill my spirit, you better believe I will do the bare minimum and will be looking at another company that recognizes and appreciates my talents.
