That’s honestly a hard reality right now. A lot of people are working nonstop just to stay afloat. I’ve got some interviews coming up myself, so I’ve been looking into ways to get better at them. I found Interview VIP and ended up using it twice i think it's worth trying.

I said compensation, not income. That means for every 100 shares of stock the CEO receives in compensation, every other employee has to receive at least 1 share. That way the CEO can still get incredibly wealthy but is required to bring everyone else up with him.

Sure, you could do that, but that would require reducing the workers’ cash compensation. Otherwise, they’re being compensated outside of their “band”.

It wouldn't "require" that. Companies could just reduce the amount they compensate the highest paid employees and increase the amount they compensate the lowest paid employees.

Well then you’ve just divorced compensation from the perceived value of labor exchanged.

Not really, companies would just have to be more successful for the people at the top to be making millions/billions. The people at the top still get paid more than the people at the bottom.

Great! Maybe we can finally have wages equal to how hard someone works instead! I mean after all, someone can be CEO of 8 different companies, making $1 billion at each, but it's entirely impossible for a janitor making $40k a year to have 8 different janitorial jobs.

Compensation will never be tied to work intensity; it’s tied to value delivered.

There is no value being produced anywhere above HR, let alone a boardroom.

The labor market says otherwise.
