We’ve all heard that in the 60’s a typical CEO made about 5 times more than the average employee. Today that number is about 250-350 times.

I can do the math and I know that if I took my CEO’s salary and divided it up equally between each employee, it would only equal $250.

In 40 years is the salary of a typical CEO going to be 500-1000 times that of an average employee? Will that be reasonable? When is enough, enough? Should a CEO make more in one day than an employee does all year?
Should a leaders salary be based on share price? Profits? Revenue?

I only ask because my CEO is making a killing and managers are getting huge bonuses all the while we are losing revenue and market share. All profits are going to stock buybacks, not buying new machinery.
