Survey Says!
In last week's CI CyberNews CyberPoll, we asked if it is reasonable that Michael Duke, Walmart's CEO, earns nearly 2000 times that of the average Walmart employee. Of the total respondents, 54.8% do not believe that the discrepancy is reasonable, while 40.5% believe it is reasonable and 4.7% are unsure. One reader commented, "Obviously, the board of Walmart feels the position warrants a $20 million dollar salary. The average employee gets paid what they do because Walmart can find enough people to work for that amount of money. It's all about supply and demand. If there were 10,000 qualified CEOs out of work and willing to work for less than $20 million, I'm guessing that
position would not pay that much. If he gave $19 million a year back to the 1.2 million employees they would only see an increase of less than 2 cents per hour. At the same time, I do feel corporate greed is the root of many of our problems here in the U.S." This poll generated many additional comments; please follow this link to take a look or to share your thoughts.
