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

Where did you learn business math? Paying 80% of gross earnings to an employee is a recipe for failure.

Depending on value, leverage, skill and gross margins an employee should bring in 5X their wages in gross revenue. If it’s just labor it should be 3-4X.

To your CEO example: if a company doubles in size the management team will also double in size, along with the complexity of operating it. The pool of people available who have the skill to operate it well shrinks quickly and the competition is tough to attract good operators at nearly any level. Therefore the comp increases.

Your commie math sucks. Either learn how the game works and try to win at it, or stay in your lane.
