I did not downvote you, but paying people more is not a zero-sum game. The pay rate of an employee is not necessarily contingent on the salary of a CEO. More money can be attained through the creation of value in an economy - this value will add wealth - this added wealth could allow for both the employee and the CEO to be paid more.

Agree completely. It's a nice gesture that the CEO cut his pay but - in agreement with you - there are lots of ways to increase employee pay.
