What I find weird about these conversations is that it never discusses what the higher ups and the companies are making. If CEOs were taking cuts and big corps were losing money, then yes, this conversation about paying employees less makes sense. But when the CEOs are still making record incomes (at least according to Forbes) and companies are increasing (or holding constant) evaluations (baring some noise), this doesn't make sense. It just comes off as "We're going to take a bigger part of the cake now and you're going to like it." But for some reason the conversation is about who deserves more of a shrinking slice of a cake that's growing. Somethings not right here.
