Wow, the guy that is in charge of the world’s largest retailer makes more than the guy that stocks shelves at one of those stores. Wow.

Seriously. How is this even possible?
Well yes – and he also has just a wee bit more responsibility.

It's probably because his decisions have 1,188 times more impact on the company than the average worker.

To be fair, some people do seem genuinely shocked and upset by this information:
Walmart follows the script left by Sam Walton. Most of the CEO's decisions come off that script. He doesn't deserve such a large salary. This is just greed in a corporate disguise. Don't buy it.

This inequity is ?? greatest downfall.

We dunno … takes like this don’t bode too well for our educational system, either:
Imagine all the people that could be off food stamps if the ceo only made 600 times the average median worker. This is basically stealing our tax dollars

Huh?
Stealing tax dollars? What??
— Travis (@travismaz) April 23, 2018
Well anyway, we look forward to CNN’s upcoming income inequality exposé:
And what what does the CEO of CNN make? What about CNN employees with little to no skill (aside from the reporters)?
