CEOs are highly paid because they face more risk than working Joes.

My boss gave a speech about 110% effort. Just after canceling the hybrid work policies in announcement from his home office. I think I could see my way to increasing effort to 30% now,maybe.

Don't go that high.  You'll burn yourself out.  20% is my recommended max.

That used to be the case; now, with preferred stock grants, guaranteed bonuses, and other "golden parachute" protections, they're not exactly worried about from where their next meal's coming. "Risk" is relative.

You don't see too many CEOs busking in Port Authority.

Are there ever any actually "good" people who just happen to work on a Death Star, or a coal mine?

"This is a period that demands more intensity, and I expect us to get more done with fewer resources," Zuckerberg said at the time. "We're currently going through the process of increasing the goals for many of our efforts. Previously challenging periods have been transformational for our company and helped us develop our next generation of leaders. I expect this period to be no different."

Even a politician would struggle to speak that many words without actually saying anything of substance.

Saying substantive things while speaking is probably one of those third-year courses Mark never quite got around to.

When?

When did CEOs ever face more risk then their employees?

Unless you're thinking of the French Revolution... no wait, even then the guards were killed outright while the nobles got a chance at a trial before being executed.

It's a classic sign of toxic bosses to flog the workers for their own failure to anticipate changing market conditions.

I worked for one guy that I know was very well off, because I was his liaison to the CPA.  I lasted about 2 years as a salaried employee and then came back as a consultant.  It was a sweet gig, I made over $300 a day, just to be available for up to 6 hours.  That gig lasted about 3 years, before he finally decided to retire and went off deep sea fishing.  Last I heard, he's still at it.

He was still a jerk for those 6 hours.
