    I almost commented by saying that a 21% pay increase is HUGE. Then I read the article and found the 40% pay increase for CEOs. That’s so fucking insane.

      CEO wages aside.

      21% barely matches current inflation and this increase would be over multiple years. During this period, inflation should go up, unless we hit a major recession.

      In other words, 21% isn’t even a raise in actual spending power compared to pre-pandemic wages.

      It’s intentional phrasing to get the initial reaction you had. Most people will not continue reading.
