Qualified experts of Lemmy, do people believe you when you answer questions in your field?

The internet has made a lot of people armchair experts happy to offer their perspective with a degree of certainty, without doing the work to identify gaps in their knowledge. Often the mark of genuine expertise is knowing the limitations of your knowledge....

If everyone got what their work was worth then the company couldn't make profit as each individual's contribution and pay would scale proportinally.

And since there are people who are overpaid (eg I) there will always be more underpaid people in total.

Just as body weight depends on calories in/out (work/pay) at the end, but what's inside the diet (compensation package) is still important. (even though you could lose weight while only eating junk food, you shouldn't)

I might just be the idiot here, but this is how it makes sense to me.

I can't give an exact figure for c-suits nor how you could arrive at one. But their contribution is not worth orders of magnitudes more, I'm certain of that. Even the smartest and most hardworking person can't do 1000x what an average worker does.

As for why I think I'm overpaid? I can currently save ~90% of my earnings, working just 6 hr a week. That's not typical. Don't get me wrong, I'm really glad to have this and I wish others could too.

Take the botton halves of two ships and superglue them like a clamshell.

Little visible light dilates pupil. But there's still plenty of UV that burns the receptors. The back of your eye doesn't have melanin like your skin to absorb it or relevant pain recptors to notice the damage.
