It's the number one biggest misconception about communism and it's great to point out it to people early on when they tell you why communism can't work, because it's usually the only thing they have as an arguement and it stops them dead
"Yes, good. Do you think your boss should make more than you? What do they even do?"
The response you'll get is something along the lines of "they steer the company, so they make everything possible".
The counter to this is to say "if the boss took a 6-month vacation, nothing would happen, but if the workers all went on strike for a day, the company would shut down".
No one says that about their boss. They say it about other hypothetical bosses.
I have worked alongside a lot of bootlickers, what can I say
What about people who do very undesirable, dangerous or stressful jobs, like paramedics, nurses, sanitary workers, that sort of thing? I think they deserve to earn more. CEOs can burn in hell, but there are plenty of jobs that deserve higher renumeration than say a cushy desk job
Paramedics are poorly paid in America. Nurses are paid far less than they are worth in most states.
I have driven an ambulance and I was making less money than the server at a restaurant. Money wasn't the factor there. In most places you got paid less for the more dangerous assignments and people fought for those ppositions just so they could be part of the action.
Actual management is important to any organization. If you got the same wage doing that as you did for any other role it would get done by some other way than pure averice. Like, if you have ever worked at a place that was well managed you can just feel it. However most places are managed for maximum profit instead and so we don't get to feel that.
