The rich are not your friends.

And their sources are...? "Income per employee" sounds like second grade level math dividing the yearly revenue by the employee count. Not seeing any comparison to payroll in your image here. Even companies fully owned by employees will have an 'income per employee' statistic.

Nope, that is Revenue per Employee, which the website also tracks.

K, just moves the needle slightly. Even in a company 100% employee owned, you're still going to have a profit per employee statistic. Nothing about what I said changes.

Stop arguing. If they actually had any idea about what they’re talking about, they wouldn’t have used this graph. Much better ways to display income disparity among employees vis a vis increased corporate profits.

It is a much more relatable statistic to break it down to you personally made $X for your company last year. vs your company made $X billion last year. I have no idea what a billion dollars is . . . on the other hand I can very easily conceptualize the 55k I made vs the 117K the company made from my labor as being grossly unfair.

If the company didn't make more from you than you cost, they wouldn't hire you... they hire you specifically to make more than they pay you.

Dude, my major was in fucking labor economics. You don’t know what you’re talking about. Stop. But I’m you’ve got the right spirit. You just don’t know what you’re talking about.
