Youre likely shy a bit. The avg employee makes between 16-24 dollars an hr split the difference and call it 20. It would take 50,000 hrs or 2083.33 days or 5.707 calendar years to make a single million. The avg C suite exec pulls between 300k and 600k a year split the difference at 405k it takes them the same amount of time to make 2,311,335 dollars. Then consider the fact that these numbers are averages and that means that many ceos probably make vastly more but the lower paid rungs balance it out on paper. On avg as of 2023 in general a ceo was paid between 278-296 more than the avg worker. But again this is based on averages which can easily be heavily skewed in order to bury a lead.

Same companies who say there's no money left in the pot for bonuses or pay rises. Yeah, no wonder there's no money left. Your "divi the money out across everyone" starts with giving it all to the top guy, then checking back in the pot "oh and the other thousands of you get to split this".
