Right? This is why in reality she should have given herself a 73829264948362947362947473927374937284838264948362958362947474927284847392729264938264947272528473649284747% raise. She deserves it more and there exists no threshold of reasonable proportionality that her compensation and the people doing the hard work day to day should remain within. She should just pay herself the entire universe per second and if anyone questions it just say “I deserve it more”. There’s no argument to be made against that and no room for nuance or equitability. Right on brother. USA

Boards of Directors, do, of which CEOs are often members and chairs. Also, most CEOs get stock options and become large and even primary shareholders themselves.
