If you mean something other than CEO to worker pay, perhaps you should articulate that. You still have not made any sense whatsoever.
Cash on hand can absolutely be spent in a wide variety of ways, be it M&A, disaster scenarios, or sudden changes to business structure. That's one of the most significant purposes of cash on hand.
Have you ever worked in a senior position at a company? Ever run your own business?
Everyone who is not an idiot knows that it's about executive pay in general vs worker pay.
Way to not address the specific point I made about cash. But answer this instead: who owns the cash a company generates?
You two stop. You are acting like people who misunderstand each other because of words, but are flinging around attacks because the medium is restricting your ability to have a constructive discussion. Now kiss and make up
Lol this is nonsense.
First off, executives are literally workers. You claim to have an MBA in your post history yet you understand nothing about how businesses actually work
Enough of the hyperbolic ad hominem. Chill my dude
Executives are part of manager class, idiot, not the worker class.
Classes aren't real. You can tell because they mean whatever you want them to mean.
If I am doing a job for pay, I am a worker.
Every time you open your mouth, you say something even stupider than the last. Keep sucking corporate dick.
Whoa Nelly, go to you room, no ice cream for you
Reality is going to be super weird for you when your actually do graduate. Stop pretending on the internet. It's a weird look, and you never know who actually might have the experience you pretend to have
LMAO ok dude, I'm sure your vast experience eating ass at your tiny 200 person company to make your way up to manager qualifies you to make asinine comments like "herp derp look at their balance sheet to see how much they can increase pay", but you literally know less than nothing.
Good luck in school this year!
LOL I graduated a decade ago, keep embarrassing yourself
Ouch that's rough man. That makes you look even worse.
Then again you've lied here in the past so no telling what lies you're making up now.
Imagine being a corporate bootlicker and and thinking the guy pointing that out looks bad.
When have I lied?
Well you two are cute, get a room
