If that's too much for someone to deal with they're probably not going to last long as a CEO. This is the kind of thing people have HR departments for, and you're telling me they can't crunch a few numbers? Come off it.

It's obviously possible to generate a figure; less obvious that the figure is actually meaningful, once people understand that subtle accounting differences like whether to include the salaries of the staff of the Manila office and whether to include total comp for the sales team with very aggressive bonus structures actually has more effect on the headline ratio than an above-market increase in CEO pay.
And perversely, laying off workers to outsource their jobs to an offshore BPO firm almost certainly gives the appearance the company is improving the staff pay...
