Yeah, so CEO just single-handedly drove company from $100M business to $4B and the rest of company workers had nothing to do with it? Or did they all received multi-million compensation for that? Nobody denies that CEOs have huge impact on company as they make strategical decisions, but their compensation is vastly exaggerated just because they are first in the line after money, can see how much company really makes and accurately measure their actions in monetary value imho. The last part is especially important, because every time I've asked for a raise the first question is: "what did you do for a company and what positive impact it has had?". Answering that question in lines of: "oh, I made that decision which increased every worker's efficiency by 300% doing this operation thus saving company X millions, here's a chart to prove it" is much stronger than saying: "I wrote a tool that saves my co-workers extra few clicks, nothing fancy actually", even though when talking about the same thing.
