Honestly I am curious what the logistics of a ratio cap between lowest and highest paid employee would result in, say 1:10.

Now there's a lot more to consider but I think restricting the impact onto the managements possible pay by layoffs (while also capping their pay) would encourage upper management who cares about their workers and company alike, and also kill the layoff cycle thats used to boost end of year reports
