We live in a world where the average CEO is paid 70x the median pay of their employees, and some CEOs are paid 300x the median pay of their employees[1]. If that's proportional to responsibility, then the 1.42% (or 0.33%) that is the employee's responsibility is negligible. And if that isn't proportional to responsibility, then CEOs should be paid more proportionately to their responsibility.

What I hear in this post is people taking orders of magnitude more credit for successes but whining when they're held equally responsible for failures.
