    You’re missing the point. There are easier jobs in the same industry for the same pay.

    We’re not comparing tech CEO to roofers. We’re comparing them to other people in tech.

      Uhh, no.

      This is directly the point: Most people work more stressful jobs for considerably less. We should stop giving CEOs a pass.

      Oh, and don’t forget about this one!

      but most people are useful idiots so here we are.

        Still not getting it I think.

        Why would someone choose a more stressful job for the same pay?

        This does not imply a lack of more stressful jobs that pay less. Obviously every idiot would take an easier job that pays more if they could.

        Oh, and don’t forget about this one!

        I didn’t forget. I chose to ignore it because it makes you look tacky and I’m being polite. But if you insist on pressing the point, there you go.

          Why would someone choose a more stressful job for the same pay?

          Because they don’t have a choice? Holy shit, you people are so disconnected from reality it’s not even funny.

          People work significantly harder than this CEO for significantly less. If the CEO was forced to make less money, he could still do the job without an issue. But why would he when useful idiots will defend him making more?

          If he’s not willing to do the job for less, then someone else would be willing to take over his role considering how many people already work way harder for way less.

          Thanks for proving my last point right, again.

            I’m sure a roofer would gladly be willing to take over my job as well.

            Do you think there are no requirements to being a CEO? Do you think you could do it? I’m wondering how deep this justice fantasy goes. Do you think we’d get a competent CEO at minimum wage?
