    In the case where you work at the same company and get paid from the same revenue source, then that is exactly what it means.

    EDIT: Also consider that if you balanced pay better across an organization, less of it would get taxed.

      No it doesn’t. Not everyone deserves the same pay. You’re asking for communism basically.

        I didn’t say everyone deserves the same pay. I just don’t think an executive’s job is 100-400x harder than the average worker, yet many executives make that much more.

          I agree with you in principal, but some executives are probably worth 10000x the pay of some average workers because the average worker could literally never do their job as well.
