> Why does the CEO get paid 10-100x more than the lowest paid worker despite working the same number of hours a day?

Honestly I wouldn’t want to work at a company (of any size) where the CEO was only worth 10x what the lowest paid janitor makes.

I've worked and still work for such CEOs in Australia, where the minimum wage is quite high and CEOs of small and medium companies aren't all quadrillionaires. It's perfectly fine.

I actually value the work a janitor does more than some of my colleagues, in terms of cleaning vs. creating messes.

If you assume the lowest paid employees are going to be close to minimum wage, and you cap the CEO at 10x that, that's not a hell of a lot of ceiling.
