That can change on a dime, though. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] MooseBoys@lemmy.world 12 points 3 years ago It’s also just relative scaling. A Starbucks barista might make $40k/year while its CEO Laxman Narasimhan makes $15M/year. Meanwhile, a Google engineer might make $400k/year, but its CEO Sundar Pichai makes $225M/year. So while an engineer will earn way more than a barista, as a fraction of CEO pay, engineers often actually make less. Both are symptoms of worker exploitation. It just so happens that technology companies tend to make a lot more money than coffee companies. permalink fedilink source parent [+] elscallr@lemmy.world -59 points 3 years ago (1 child) If that changes I'll figure out the new way.
