The first lesson everyone needs to understand is that money supply is finite. It all flows in a cycle. The paycheck that you are earning right now while reading this is coming from somewhere else. It's coming from the income earned by your company, which is coming from someone's pocket who just bought that widget you're known for. Now let's put it in more of a broad perspective. Broad, like millions of dollars. Your company has $1M in income. Your executive management decides they want more pay this year. Where does that come from? You only have $1M to divide up. Their raise comes from not giving you a fair raise or not sharing a proportionally equal share of the company profit. The old ratio of 20:1 is now 350:1, we must dictate acceptable CEO salary levels as related to employee income.
