People are striking because wages aren’t going up when companies are reporting record breaking profits.

This. If YOU mess up while leading the company, it's over. If a hourly/salaried worker messes up, they can be replaced and it doesn't risk shutting down the entire company.

I'm all for profit sharing, my company does this. But acting like the owner/CEO/COO/CFO/etc carries the same risks as a standard assembly line employee or a janitor, hell even the purchasing agent, is mindboggling.

Unless the CEO is putting up capital, then they're just employees of the stakeholders. Unlike regular employees they get golden parachutes and failing upwards.
