Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.

7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.

Jobs aren't paid based on how difficult or stressful they are
Retail in a nutshell. Get treated like shit but if you dare say something that could possibly be considered even mildly offensive, let alone stand up for yourself then you're the bad guy and get all the blame.
So glad I got out of that, everyone should have to work retail for at least half a year to develop a bit of empathy. The bullshit you have to put up with on a near daily basis for poverty wages is fucking abysmal.
Well they're certainly not based on what value they bring, either, except maybe to themselves and the ever-useless shareholders.
If the people paying did not believe they were getting their money's worth, they would stop paying that much. The problem is, the ceiling is set by whoever can realistically pay the most.
My entire point is that CEOs are obviously overvalued, due to the ability of extremely large firms to pay exorbitant salaries via stock. This creates a negative ripple downstream that hurts a lot of smaller businesses.
No they wouldn't. They're the same people as get paid that much elsewhere. They have no incentive to lower the bar.
You're mixing up who is offering what
No, I'm not. Who do you imagine sets CEO pay?
Competing firms and to a lesser extent the CEOs themselves, all have input. It's a market.
It's nothing like a market. Who do you imagine the individuals are who set the CEOs pay, and how do you think their pay is decided?
Generally, but not always, the board will set a price range for CEOS. In smaller firms, the C-suite or President will, in some rarer cases the owner will have sole vote.
You seem to think CEOs dictate their own wages, which makes no sense. That's not how getting a job works.
Exactly
They're not incentivised to get the best value for money. They're setting the benchmarks by which their own pay is decided.
Is that why doctor are so under paid/s they aren't based on skill or education?
Doctors are highly paid because they are scarce. You'll note that surgeons in the UK, as an example, make about a third or less of what a US surgeon makes.
Our residency system, coincidentally, induces artificial scarcity of doctors
