What does someone even do when they make a million dollars a year? I couldn't come up with things to buy if i made that much. Id have everything id ever want in like 2 years.

I find it fascinating how corporations end up becoming sort of cults, mystical organizations. CEOs are just random individuals, and the worst that happens to them is getting fired when shareholders discover that they did nothing to prevent radical feminists from wasting hundreds of millions of dollars on activism. These individuals are not even prosecuted or imprisoned for fraud in the vast majority of cases. But they get paid millions as if they were messiahs making the whole operation a reality, as if they were prophets who tie the whole religion together into something functional, when in fact they're fucking nobodies and you could literally replace all of them with monkeys without any harm to the operations.
But fuck it. Put millions of dollars in this Jesus' pocket because he's going to make everything turn to gold!

>>713799938 (OP)
what are you gonna do about it? because you sure as hell aren't going to risk your life to kill him

>>713799938 (OP)
Tech CEOs are the new lords and kings, I hope they continue to be increasingly audacious with their wealth, they don't realise that flaunting that shit breeds jealousy and contempt which eventually leads to them getting beaten in the street.

Old money knows to be quiet and to atleast pretend you want to help the serf and slave class, most of these nerds are new money and think batman will come save them when the population turns against them.

That just means you're a heartless bastard that only wants to enslave humanity and you never loved your country from the start. A traitor. Worse than an enemy of the state.

>>713801395
Depends on the CEO.

Like some of them. They're the face of the company. Chairing meetings, talking to shareholders, convincing people to put money into the company and how awesome the product is. Think a Musk type.

Obviously whoever this EA guy is isn't a Musk type since I never heard of him.

But then you come back to reality and realise you can't force other countries to have high taxation, and other countries will deliberately have low taxes because it attracts business which brings money to the local economy

because it is, same reason were never getting regulation of microtransactions in the US, these companies just bribe legislators to not introduce any bills against their business, the more annoying thing is when the internet just complains about it, at least Luigi Mangione actually did something, most of these whiny kids do nothing but complain on the internet about it, either put up or shut up

One thing they never tell you about is that most people who lose jobs get pay cuts at game companies are not actual people who make the game like programmers asset artists or animators.
Its usually less meaningful development roles that like to pretend they matter.
CEO just happens to be the only one of these less meaningful roles that manages to stay in power due to connections and nepotism.

When was the last time you saw an actual programmer complain about losing a job at a game company.
It almost always writers community menages or concept artists.

You have absolutely no understanding of how anything works programmers are constantly getting laid off or replaced with AI

After a game is developed and out its common for the company to lay off every programmer at the studio if said game doesnt need active support. Its an all too common practice of hiring fresh talent, using them like theyre nothing, underpaying them, and letting them all go instead of the more expensive option of contracting out a team when you just need one project done.

Realizing that you wouldn't do a better job and that the difference between a good CEO and a bad one are billions of dollars, so paying tons of money in the hopes of getting a good one is justified.

>No business/corporation/etc. may make more than a 30% profit margin
>Any profits in excess of 30% are to be equally distributed to all employees as an end of year bonus, including employees that were """let go""" during that year
>No income tax, only a flat sales tax
There's more, but I forgot at this point and it obviously needs more wprk as there's still plenty of loopholes/exploits that could be done.

But hey, all those Chinese sweatshop jobs are being brought to the US, I'm sure there'll be a lot of honest hard working red blooded PATRIOTS lining up to work jobs so shit they make "Amazon warehouse worker" sound like paradise.

>>713802456
That only means that one country can't take what was already taken from you but it doesn't stop the country from starting to take more from where the first country left off. If country A taxes you at 20% and country B at 60% then B will take 40%.

>>713801314
The problem is that it disincentivizes people to be rich. To a retard this doesn't sound like a big deal, but people who know that money isn't a fixed thing, but a representation of value and that value is something you can create understand that not having any rich people around leads to poverty.
You can check that yourself, by handing your grandmother $1 worth of yarn and having her turn it into $5 of socks. You'll find that she did not steal the $4 in difference from anybody.

People become rich because they made the world a more valuable place - or because they are parasites in the finance system. You should go to Liberia, you'll have your hellhole where nobody is getting rich and don't have to run a somewhat functioning country.

We all have the same amount of hours in a day tell me how its truly possible for someone to generate 100000000 times as much value as someone else?

Buy backs are a retarded hand out to wall street and executives designed to avoid capital gains taxes.
Instead of investing the moeny into developing new games they just buy the stock back. The company is not a hedge fund it is a video game company. They don't have any good sales and their stock implodes regardless of how much shares they buy.
Their net rev is $7.463 billion and they spend $1 billion on stock buy backs while the company is going down a drain. lmao.

Underinvestment in the Business: Critics argue that companies could be using the funds for more productive purposes, such as research and development, capital expenditures, or employee training. Instead, they're using the cash to repurchase shares, which might hinder long-term growth and competitiveness.

This is literally capitalism 101, if there's a need that isn't being met then someone will make a business to meet it.

I'm not bothered by either, anon just asked why the employee isn't buying in, which is a retarded question when the employee obviously is. They are not the only ones buying in and they are doing so in a different manner than someone with a lot of financial capital leveraging that instead. The employees are part of the resources, the sooner you understand that the sooner you realize how dumb the premise of anon's question is as a gotcha.

What the owner pays you is a cost for the business owner, anon. The value of the labor is the resource.

Profit means that something is efficient. Means that the thing you did created more value than was put in.

Profit is a good thing, you fucking monkey are trying to kill us all with your retarded envy based hatred of everything that works.

The value of the labor is a resource which has already been paid for. You're a dumbshit barista or something like that, right? Are you allowed to take a sip of a customers onions mocha latte after they've ordered and paid for it? No, because you sold it to them and you have no entitlement to it anymore.

it only affects shitty companies that develop shitty modern AAA games, so who cares

They have to keep the CEO happy so that he can apply pressure on the employees to create technically impressive yet microtransaction laden games.
Being a good leader is an invaluable skill

By the way, small business owners barely make more than their employees after all the overhead. You're pretty much just as good off being an employee somewhere, that's why small business is dying.

Taxes aren't "smashing existing systems". Especially taxes that will only affect 0.01% of the population. Also the capitalist theory literally states you need to have some level of regulation because completely unchecked capitalism leads to power getting consolidated into fewer and fewer entities which will then exert their power to manipulate the market in order to squeeze every last dollar in existence, fucking everyone over in the process. It's literally why we have anti-monopoly laws, you can't see everything going to shit and just shrug and go "welp, can't do nothin' or else it isn't the good kind of capitalism!", at some point it must dawn on everyone that no this shit isn't gonna magically fix itself.

Its funny how persistent the "CEOs work so much harder than the rest of us" myth is, especially if you know how most executives actually function. Sure, most executives are practically "working" 24/7, but that's not nearly as impressive as it sounds once you realize what their """work""" actually consists of. Which is to say that most executives just travel around and party all day and call it "meetings." They don't even book the shit themselves, they have secretaries that arrange all the hotels, limousines, restaurants, bars, etc that they just cycle through on their """work""" days. My aunt is actually one of these secretaries, and it's kind of eye-opening to hear her talk about it and realize that most of her work is just booking all these hotels and restaurants and bars and whatnot for these dipshits to go party in. But that's really all their fucking """work""" is. It's just having these "meetings."

>>713805482
you literally just described the entire working force on planet earth

>>713805429

>>713804693
You mean the "leadership" then? Then this CEO is the leadership, he is the head of the "state" of this company. A communist state is just a corporation that has vast powers including men who can enact violence on its citizen if it goes against it, its leader is also always rich.

Maybe that's the problem? Everyone is just a greedy fuck and doesn't do anything to benefit their fellow man and just look out for number 1. That cascades endlessly into insurmountable corporate greed, corporations with more power than governments, old men ruling the world, etc.

You wonder about what CEOs do until you actually get up to that level. I work with the C suite for a national organization that works with hospitals and find out that they do pretty much nothing that warrants that salary.
But it's really to keep the rich as the rich and the wagies as wagies.

If you grow from nothing into a corp you deserve to exist and you will continue to exist, if some random Jew gives you a billion dollars to make mass market slop then no you don't deserve to exist and nobody will care when you go bankrupt the way the entire American game industry is because interest rates have gone up and suddenly the gravy train ended.

I used to work under a rich game company CEO and all he did was lurk around, conspire against dissidents with HR and worst of all - make impulsive decisions that negatively affected the vidya we were working on.
One time we had layoffs and I was asked to make a skill-based ranking list of all animators, only for him to fire an extremely high-ranking animator in order to keep a useless animator in that guy couldn't even draw, just because he deemed him to be "very loyal".
That fucker was a deranged feudal lord and it killed my interest in working for any big company ever again.

Most actually rich people already have foreign investments and holdings. The rich are typically internationalist, globalist. They aren't loyal to their home nation, they're loyal only to money.

No nigger, do I actually need to spell out for you your own premise of the post I replied to initially? God damn you're dumb, fine I will.

>Is every employee required to buy into the business to provide the resources that allow these profits to be made, commie?
The underlying assumption of this question is that an employee is not buying into the company in any way through their time and effort there, and that it is only through a different method of buying in that they are able to provide resources to allow profits to be made, which is a retarded assumption. An employee required to buy in financially as part of the deal of their working there is providing two different levels of buy-in through resources, through their work and also through additional capital contribution.
Labor and capital investment are two types of buying in to a company by providing resources. You will say that labor is paid for, but the requirement of having an employee buy in with additional capital is also paid for by the owner. It just gets more skin in the game. These are two manners of providing resources and how much of either is required is part of the agreement between employee and employer.
So every employee that works in essence is bought in, or their hiring to begin with would be a mistake, just not in the way that you also want them to be. You can twist and bend your spine into a pretzel to say that it doesn't count, but nothing you say to preclude labor from being a buy-in can't also apply to capital investment, because the profits made from labor are resources to be leveraged by the employer just the same. This is the only point I have ever made in my replies to you.

I am not making any argument for or against the the basic idea of transfer of ownership, or for giving a certain level of profits to employees, or any other shit that you wish you were arguing with me about. That underlying assumption was just fucking stupid and I pointed that out.

Realistically, it's a club where there's a position that gives you a ton of money and people are just rotated through it so each of them in the club get a turn. The company exists for that throne that a select few get to take a turn on. There is literally no other reason for that role to pay as much as it does. That's the faucet at the end of the machine. In the real world, you wouldn't even think to pay someone that much. It just wouldn't cross your mind because you'd be thinking about investing back into your company to make it better

I have a radical idea that is overcomplicated & no1 will support.

We need to rethink the concept of debt, including going back & correcting errors. These people make promises they dont deliver on, collect the cash then sail off into the sunset. We need to be able to go after them, sometimes decades later, and claw it back.
A dollar is a unit of debt. By holding one hes saying 'You, you anon, I helped you now you owe me'. No dude you didnt fucking help me youre a conman.

>>713809093
I don't know why it's so hard for you to understand such a simple concept. People who train as engineers and artists think about more than just money, people who study business don't. Playstation will not exist in a decade because their only vision for the company is to milk a dead cow.

>>713805483

>Any profits in excess of 30% are to be equally distributed to all employees
This is how you end up with Hollywood accounting

Curtailing the control of shareholders as in >>713807767 might be a better avenue of attack.
Additionally you could have public yearly reports on salaries published yearly so employees can see if they are being underpaid, though that probably also has some psychological drawback and I way for upper management to pressure people who are "overpaid"

It's not an assumption that they've already been paid for their time and your argument actually IS that paying for something shouldn't give you control over it, you liar you. If I have paid for your salary I have control over the value your labor creates, full fucking stop. If I do not have control over this, then ownership means little.

Because the difference between a good and a bad CEO is $200 billion. Something like that is worth the $25 million they are paying him. Which $1.3 is his actual salary, the rest was a bonus for the company doing well under his leadership.
If they put the median EA drone in charge they would be bankrupt, paying $25m to not be bankrupt is smart. If they offered him just 120k like the median EA guy is making, he would go somewhere else.

Not everybody has the same skills and talents.

>>713809938
>If I have paid for your salary I have control over the value your labor creates, full fucking stop. If I do not have control over this, then ownership means little.
This does nothing to address my point, I never disagreed with this. I do not think that paying for something means you shouldn't have control over it. Stop replying to me if you're going to argue with someone who isn't me. And that isn't the same assumption that I argued against.
I get you just want to use this argument as a vehicle to jack yourself off to how you are perfectly fine with conventional economic principles. Guess what? So am I. I'm just not dumb enough to see that a buy-in comes in more than one form and that's part of the negotiation for employment.

This is actually a fantastic point, but the process for smaller businesses to be built up is a long and arduous one. I'm not saying that I don't think it could be done, I do, but it'll put a lot of people out of work.
On top of that, it's unfortunately extremely difficult to do, because the billionaires club just pay off all the politicians and turn them into their pets.
When they start to propose silly ideas like taxing the rich or properly securing the stock market so it's fair, they tug their leash a little harder and the politicians start talking about immigrants, fags or blacks being the true enemy/friend.

It's all a moot point, because the billionaires have castrated all your politicians by paying them off. I think maybe Bernie might have tried to do something, but the rest of them are toothless and living it up off kickbacks from the super rich.
All you need is the masses to properly rise up and call bullshit on them.
They won't move, because it's too inconvenient, it'd kill all productivity at the company, and therefore the share price, to move somewhere else and there's nowhere else where they'll get a better deal.

Yes, rich do end up paying a higher percentage of the overall tax, but it's a drop in the bucket.
>>713814797
But that's how they get away with all their bullshit. Throw all their wealth into unrealised gains so you can't be taxed and then when you need money, you just go to a bank and get a 0% interest loan backed by your unrealised gains.

It's baffling, it's like making a deal with Satan, right down to the numerous warnings and actual recorded incidents of why it's a horrible idea that will fuck you over... and they still do it anyway.

If you're the first corporate bootlicker, taxation isn't theft, it's part of the contract to live where you are.
If you're the second one, you just used a bunch of buzzwords so I'm just going to laugh at you.
Again, tax the rich, they're just hoarding it anyway.

Do the retards that hate CEOs go to a gas station and blame the manager for the high price of gas? Why are these people so proudly ignorant?

What has EA actually produced to justify this? What shareholder success justifies it? Labor activism aside what has this CEO done to make this make sense to shareholders

>>713816030
>Left and right almost don't matter anyways
This is actually a case of left verse right, at least for the democrats since the right wing controls the party, and this has been the case ever since Clinton and on top of being bought out by corporate interests. Their voters clearly want to see the party go left again instead of sliding further to the right, which is why people like Sanders and Mamdani have a lot of appeal.

Okay? I haven't bought an EA game in over a decade, which means I'm doing more to "fight the power" than the journos who show faux concern and the California progressives who still swing to bat and work for these corpos.

Their sports games are consistent high sellers with loads of extras built in, sports gamers are quite possibly bigger paypigs than gachatards, for shareholders he’s providing value as the company is consistently growing, even removing the FIFA branding did nothing to the games popularity and they saved money on paying FIFA for the name

what a great argument

>>713813096
I think the main point on which we disagree is whether it's appropriate to pop up and say
>no workers shouldn't need to buy into their jobs in general
when someone is talking with someone else about a case where there is mandatory profit sharing in particular.

>>713819474
It’s the same phenomenon you see where they fight tooth and nail against anyone saying anything bad about Nintendo. Everyone here is a temporarily embarrassed millionaire.

>rich people will leave and not pay taxes
>despite the fact that the ultra rich do everything in their power to not pay any taxes in the first place and that's how they got there in the first place
Everything about how our society works already includes the fact that rich people do not pay taxes. They already don't pay fucking taxes. They donate to "charities" or have offshore shell corps or another 1000 different ways to not pay fucking taxes. Their entire lifestyle is built around not paying taxes. Them leaving changes nothing

Sounds like an endorsement if they're not even waiting a day to start the race baiting smear campaign.

They've been around for a long time, but the issue of their pay is a new one. Basically they're representing investors interests which are at odds with the interests of the workers and consumers. Them getting overpayed is a recent problem.

>>713821357
That's actually the story of the collapse of worker support, consumer support, and then citizen support. Defaulting to a hierarchy that gives you lipservice while giving you left is effective.

Not just "a guy", he murdered one of the high caste. Dude's mysterious ((suicide)) is only a matter of time.

Why do unemployed losers care how much more money a corporation's CEO makes than a janitor?

>>713822363
>janitors make median salary at EA
That would be cool. The issue is that there have been massive layoffs in game development and EA games keep getting worse. Workers and consumers are losing while he makes more and more money.

Nintendo execs took pay cuts after the failure of the WiiU. How is Nintendo doing this?

jews are fleeing like rats because this guy won the democrat primary (and probably because Israel is about to do another falseflag), and NYC is still around 30% White.

I had no idea the socialist propaganda of "rich don't pay taxes" (in reality top 1% pay 45% of income tax) was something zoomers actually believed in. In case you didn't know it's based around stocks as unrealised gains aren't taxed (nor can they in reality) and leftoids use that to dishonestly claim they don't pay tax

>>713819642
No, the main point we disagree on is whether or not there is more than one way to buy into a business in principle in regards to capital investment versus time and labor.
>is it really appropriate
To specify a point I disagree on with you and argue with you about it on 4chan? Yeah, retard. Maybe actually argue with me about the views I hold next time instead of being dishonest or stupid about what I was referring to.

>>713822626
if shareholders care so much about saving money why don't they just fire their CEO and hire you?

>>713822969
This is a thread about CEO pay. That's different than taxing stocks.

>>713822969
>in reality top 1% pay 45% of income tax
it's actually more like 24%-25% when it should be 90%

>>713822969
>in reality top 1% pay 45% of income tax
So people with disproportionately high earnings pay disproportionately high taxes? That's crazy man.

>>713823070
Because I would prioritize workers and consumers and not investors.

ok well then start your own company without any investor money and see how that goes

they justify price increases by saying dev costs are increasing, but the devs salaries remain as stagnant as ever, meanwhile corporate execs and investors take all the money. when you buy a game, your money doesn't support the developers, it makes parasites like this wealthier.

>>713824502
That's more accurate. "Late stage capitalism" meme views these problems as new when workers and consumers historically have had to fight with the economic elite to get better treatment and benefit.
