From 1978 to 2022, CEO pay grew by 1,209% while the typical worker's pay rose just 15%.

This explosion in CEO pay relative to the pay of average workers isnโ€™t because CEOs have become so much more valuable than before.

They've just gamed the system to line their pockets.

@rbreich I worked for a company where the newly hired CEO took away the employee's 401k match. A year later he left with a $1 million payout. He literally pocketed the employee's 401k match to the dollar.
