Do you ever feel like the odds are stacked against you? Like no matter how hard you work, you’re always just a paycheck away from struggling to make ends meet? That’s the reality for so many hardworking individuals in today’s society, especially when faced with the harsh truth of income inequality in the corporate world.
As an employee at a company where the CEO rakes in a staggering 186 million dollars in compensation, it’s easy to feel disheartened and demoralized. 🤯 How is it fair that one person can make more money in an hour than you do in an entire year? How can the gap between the haves and the have-nots be so vast within the same organization?
##The Struggle of Financial Disparity
The Shocking Discrepancy
It’s hard to ignore the stark contrast between the exorbitant wealth of the CEO and the modest salaries of the hardworking employees. The disparity is not only demoralizing but also deeply unfair.
The Impact on Morale
When you see your CEO living a lavish lifestyle while you struggle to make ends meet, it can take a toll on your morale and motivation. It’s demotivating to feel like your hard work is being undervalued and underpaid.
The Frustration of Union Negotiations
Despite efforts from strong unions like the Teamster, securing fair wages and benefits in negotiations can feel like an uphill battle. The limited success in negotiations can leave employees feeling disillusioned and defeated.
##Navigating Unjust Conditions
Educate and Empower
Knowledge is power. Educate yourself and your colleagues on fair labor practices, union rights, and collective bargaining. Empower each other to demand what you deserve.
Stand Together
Solidarity is key. Stand united with your coworkers to demand fair treatment and just compensation. Strength in numbers can make a significant impact in negotiations.
Advocate for Change
Be a voice for change within your union. Advocate for stronger leadership, transparent negotiations, and bolder actions to address the unjust practices of the company.
In a world where corporate greed runs rampant, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed and powerless. But remember, change starts with individuals coming together to fight for what is right. Don’t lose hope, and don’t lose sight of your worth as a valuable employee. Together, we can challenge the status quo and strive for a more equitable and just workplace for all. 💪🏽 #TogetherWeCan #FightForFairness #EmployeeEmpowerment
And so many people will justify this and assume he just works harder than the rest of you. It’s astounding.
Unregulated capitalism and its consequences!
Yeah, Hertz made some bad decisions. At least you got a new CEO the other day.
Sounds like your union is broken.
There was a time long ago when I made good money — about $330,000 in today’s market.
I hired a cleaning service weekly who sent out the same two women each time. They barely spoke any English. I think they were from Colombia.
I don’t know how much of the money they actually got, but it wasn’t enough for the work they did. I kept that service for three years and it was always those two women scrubbing floors, changing linens, cleaning toilets.
I tipped them in cash each week — so they could at least fill up their car because that kind of financial helps saves you sometimes. Every holiday, and a few times a year, I gave them each $100. I gave them grocery gift certificates for Christmas.
I noticed when they came to my house, one of them cleaned while the other went out to get them lunch which I assumed was against the rules. I didn’t give a shit because they were doing work I didn’t want to do. My house was clean so who cares.
I never micromanaged them, never gave them lists, and never complained. I think I asked them to sweep the patio once and they did it every week.
I cannot understand how someone with so much money that it becomes virtually meaningless does not find JOY in rewarding people who do a good job. This makes no sense to me.
If you could really improve someone’s life by giving them a dollar *when it causes you no hardship*, why wouldn’t you?
**Why do so many people want to cause more suffering?**
Do you know what happened in the French Revolution? People change through 2 mains ways: 1) fear of their actions, 2) equality and opportunities.
We need to do both, we need a bloody revolution
No one is worth $186,000,000.00 per year.
At your next union vote, don’t settle for less than cutting the CEOs pay to about(or less than) a single million. He doesn’t like it? HE can go find another job.
How many employees does the company have?
You should’ve went to college for CEO instead of lesbianic interpretive dance with a minor in African American studies 😉👍
Makes? More like steals. Those are your (and your coworkers) wages they’re taking.
Post WW2 personal tax rates were as high as 90%. Business taxes over 50%. The capitalist class reinvested in their businesses and employees instead of paying more taxes. Corporations were considered part of the community and outrageous pay was considered socially shameful. Corporate by-laws, at the time, stated business was obliged to participate in the betterment of the community. This multiplied the “shame” factor. Reagan, in 1980, came in and crushed the unions, bylaws were changed obliging corps to ONLY be responsible to shareholders and maximizing quarterly profits was the only corporate imperative. Tax rates dropped. Homes of the rich and famous, performative wealth became chic. We’ve been declining ever since.
Over in Japan, when the Nintendo Wii U console failed, there were no layoffs. The CEO Satoru Iwata personally took a 50% paycut to avoid mass layoffs. Now if that doesn’t show care, accountability and empathy for those who work with you, I don’t know what does. Its a completely different mindset in Japan. We could learn a great deal from them.
People REALLY need to understand the math breakdown of how *insanely* absurd the TOTAL compensation packages are.
If you made $1 per second, 365 days a year with no stop in pay, you would make a measley $86,400 per DAY. When you look at the yearly rate, that’s *only* $31,536,000.
Now take Mr CEO Fucknuckle McGee:
Annual: $186,000,000
Monthly: $15,500,000
Daily: $509,589
Hourly: $21,233
Minute: $354
It’s about time to take inspiration from the French and eat the fucking rich. No amount of money will *EVER* be enough for these monsters. Yes, monsters. You don’t get to the level they do without screwing over a TON of people.
… really?
If he’s making that kind of money, he must be head of a multibillion dollar company. And I was always under the impression those CEOs purposefully had low personal salaries to avoid income tax.
So you work at hertz? Lol
UPS?

Sounds like you live in Australia. Our unions barely exist anymore.
As an American I would never, ever, ever, EVER expect a company to take care of me or my coworkers better than its shareholders or executives. EVER. This is shitty but should never be surprising, which is the saddest fucking part.
“Well that’s the market rate so you have to pay that. All CEOs are in that range so that’s what talent costs.” —probly in comments somewhere.
Eat him and gain his powers.
Unions are not as powerful and awesome as they are made to seem. CWA was a joke as well.
Not only that but our own members voted for a $1000 bonus ($600 after tax) if the company could stop putting all new hires on pension.
$600 was all it took for your own “brothers/sisters” to fuck you over.
It comes down to selfishness. Americans are inherently selfish. The CEO is selfish, the workers are selfish because they cannot do anything that risks them individually.
Its all just sad.
These people need hanged in public
they’re certainly not doing 186 million x the work… fuckers
people need to start booing these assholes. stop hero worshipping them, humiliate them, don’t give them the time of day, ignore them, treat them like the vile selfish scum that they are.
I don’t think he is getting that money in hand.
Unless the CEO started the company and owns all the stock, there is no reason for compensation like this.
Erm actually sweaty, the CEO does in fact work 2,000 times harder than you. why else would they pay him that much? You would know if you didn’t spend so much money on avocado tiktok coffee
Actually though, this level of greed is the current cause of like half of our problems in the US and is 100% a mental disease
Eat him
So quit
I love how people make these posts as if they could do the CEO’s job…People have no idea what it takes to do what we do…..
