The company with the lowest median pay, Aptiv, I had to look up, and what a darling of a company this is:

    - guilty of systemic accounting fraud from 1999-2004
    - manufactured a (allegedly known-to-be) faulty ignition switch that led to the deaths of 124 people and injured 275 others
    - currently forcing 20,000 former employees to fight a decades-long legal battle for their earned pension benefits
    - gleefully dumps massive quantities of carcinogens and poisons into the environment, including: lead compounds, chromium compounds, sulfuric and hydrochloride acid (lol), and glycol ethers
Simply a masterclass in corporate irresponsibility, exactly why their CEO is so well comped.
