Compensation
What are we going to do about CEO pay – or don’t we really care? Most people agree with the principle of fair compensation. And most also agree that CEOs earning 320 times the average worker (in 2019) is not fair. Yet we don’t seem to be doing anything about it. The gap increased in 2020, with CEO pay rose 16%, compared with 1.8% for workers in the largest 350 companies. Is this a failure of policymakers in the pocket of multinationals, or of civil action that couldn’t sustain the Occupy movement? Tackling inequality has to start inside the company.
