When I go to McDonalds and get a Big Mac, what did the CEO of McDonalds do to make that Big Mac a reality?
Did he grow the lettuce, tomatoes, and grain required? No - illegal immigrants paid $2 an hour did that.
Did he bake the grain into bread? No - some minimum wage baker did that.
Did he deliver the lettuce, tomatoes, and bread to McDonalds for processing? No - minimum wage truck drivers did that.
Did he put together the lettuce, tomato, bread, and meat into a single sandwhich? No - minimum wage McDonalds workers did that.
So what does the CEO do exactly? If the CEO was removed from the picture entirely, would the farmers be unable to grow lettuce and tomatoes? Would bakers be unable to bake bread? Would cooks be unable to fry potatoes and chicken tenders? Would servers be unable to bring food to customers' tables?
If all those wagies were smart enough to do it themselves MCD wouldn't exist.
Gavin Ross
The CEO had an idea, built the company from the bottom up, and is now reaping the fruits of his labors.
Brandon Brooks
Obv. the CEO decides overall strategy of the company and represents it at shareholder meetings etc.
But yeah I think Piketty, amongst many others, has a lot of data showing that there's no way a CEO has enough effect on a company to warrant the amount they're paid. cf:
If those wagies were smart enough to realize they're being assraped 24/7, the CEO would get strung up on a lampost
Zachary Baker
Good thing lots of stupid people exist, eh?
Jacob Murphy
The guy who came up with the idea for McDonalds has already been dead for decades.
How is coming up with ideas "labor"?
Xavier Moore
Because a smart person is needed to manage an army of retards
In the same way that a general doesn't technically fight in the war, because a leader is needed to direct the grunts
Jeremiah Bailey
Wage slavery is a real thing
Cameron Jones
people who talk like this are dumb niggers who never had a job. ceo is massive work, its sink or swi mthose jobs were ceos fuckung tank the place and get massive payouts are reflections of how retarded the company is and a good indication you shouldnt be supporting them. if you ever watched a ceo do battle on behalf of your company youd realise how fuck out classed and under skilled you are to fill their shoes
t. video conferencing engineer. spent hours supervising high level vc calls for some of the largest corporations in the world and saw ceos earning their paychecks
Jayden King
employees should run a parliamentary-style election to determine a group of leaders and also vote on their pay
Adrian Stewart
mc d's has so many employees world wide such that if the Ceo's salary was divided among them they would get less than $10. per year. each.
stfu commie op
William Morgan
That point of yours is irrelevant
Angel Howard
My dad's a ceo and he doesn't seem to do anything but travel to shows/events/basketball and football games. Have dinners and party after the shows and events. I think the extent of his job, other than entertaining, is to respond to emails.
David Gray
If you’re not happy with it don’t work/eat at mcdonalds, this is a free society
James White
I love it how no one is actually answering the question.
Open collar, no tie, talks in business cliches while gesticulating with his hands. Has no fucking clue.
Eli Williams
This. If they fuck up they can put thousands of people's lives in misery. If you fuck up the hamburger at the golden arches, your pimply ass just goes home.
They get paid because of the enormous responsibility they shoulder. Although desu the gap between CEO and basic worker is getting too high I'll give OP that
Easton Gutierrez
nope, they still get paid huge sums.
James Brown
Basic facts you have completely ignored. First off all the ceo negotiated scaled deals with farmers supply companies refrigeration units etc. and directs these deals in order to reduce the overhead of a business. These deals are highly complex and on a large scale much larger than any individual laborer. He also makes it profitable to produce a burger which is obviously the most important part of a company. Without the ceo they may all have the skills necessary to do all of those things that everyone else could do, they just wouldn’t have the field to grow the tomatoes the bread to bake the meat to cook with, the refrigerators to store shit in, the fucking building to cook in. And you can forget about expanding to employ other people and provide the food service for other people. Your ignorant understanding of a ceos role in a market economy does not delegitimize the ceos role in a market economy or any economy.
Samuel Scott
>minimum wage truck drivers
Kek
Owen Cook
The CEO is a parasite who does nothing
water is wet
more news at eleven
Hunter Wilson
Also if they fuck up the board collectively shits it's pants and stock prices plummet, which hurts the company too.
Andrew Cook
>If they fuck up they can put thousands of people's lives in misery. If a prole fuck up it puts the lives of him and his family in misery - not the lives of thousands of other people unrelated to the decision he made.
Eli Lee
a ceos pay doesnt correlate much with performance its all politics, a ceo negotiates his pay from the board, not the employees nor shareholders.
Alexander Foster
You don't have to eat at McDonalds.
This thread is fucking retarded.
Jacob Lopez
fucking faggot do you think is easy to build a company from nothing? do you think you dont need to put a initial investment like your life on the line to make this company started? dont you think you need connections, suppliers, make deals, buy/lease offices/shops, equipment etc? do you fucking think the illegal immigrant start growing fucking lettuce out of nowhere to make a fucking burger to sell where? where the fucking illegal immigrants get the rest of the burger from when they are fucking illegal and cant speak the language?
gtfo from my board you poor commie faggot
Jaxon Howard
>the ceo single-handedly did all the work of the Supply Chain and Finance Departments o i am laffin
Luis Harris
This is how you end up with countries where millions starve to death.
Blake Torres
>So what does the CEO do exactly? If the CEO was removed from the picture entirely, would the farmers be unable to grow lettuce and tomatoes? Would bakers be unable to bake bread? Would cooks be unable to fry potatoes and chicken tenders? Would servers be unable to bring food to customers' tables? no to all, because they wouldn't have jobs
Easton Thompson
or they wouldn't sign a mutually agreed contract to exchange labor for a certain amount of money
Blake Roberts
>If you don't like it, move.
Correction. If you don't like it vote for a representstive who doesn't like it either.
Jordan Stewart
They would if they are strapped for cash which most people are.
