Nah once they're CEOs they're good. They just go sit on various boards making millions for doing relatively nothing.

“I just voted to keep employee pay low. Now I have to go fly my private jet around to justify the cost of owning it. Bye!”

I thought VPs already didn't really do anything, but being on the board and meeting 2 or 3 times a year is definitely less.

Yup, my uncle was a CEO, and his monthly house payment is more than I make in a year… even combining my significant other’s salary. I do not like this timeline.
