OMG That's wage left!!! You should be ashamed! The boss could make more money if you work more like a robot and less like a human being! Heck, if you were an actual robot they wouldn't have to pay you at all! Think of how much the stock price could go up then! Robots don't complain about living wages, require training or form unions, and they don't worry about climate change and ecological collapse! The perfect worker.

Google says the average CEO makes $823k, and the average worker makes $74k. That’s only 11x.

The boss makes $1.11, I make a dime…

What you're reading most likely doesn't report the perks and bonuses. Also....... what? Are you missing the point? It's like the Washington Post (I think) fact checking Sanders that "no it's BS, CEOs make 278 times more than their employees, not 300 times, that's 12 pinocchios oh-oh-spagghetio"
