Salaries should by law be capped at max 10 times the lowest

[–] Grayox@lemmy.ml 53 points 1 year ago

Careful, you might be starting to make too much sense!

Doesn't Japan have a system like that? The difference in the lowest and highest paid employee can only be so many thousands different?

[–] sheogorath@lemmy.world 50 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Yep, my friend works in a Japanese company and his CEO only makes 3x his salary.

It’s unfortunate that it also requires you to live within shooting range of North Korea and China. Because Japan is a nice vacation spot.

Don't forget appallingly long working hours.

[–] ikidd@lemmy.world 26 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Oh, and don't be not Japanese

That also, I’ve never received so many stares. Like I was a vampire from Twilight, sparkling in the sun, or had a huge booger in my nose.

[–] ikidd@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'm 6'-4, imagine the stares.

Gojira! Gojira!

The rest of us live in shooting range of Russia or the US. It's not a question of if we will die, it's a question of when.

Is it law though?

Or is it something else?

[–] PR3CiSiON@lemmy.world 26 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Then they'd just get two jobs at the same company, and get two salaries or some other loophole the lawmakers planned for the whole time.

[–] WaxedWookie@lemmy.world 12 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Preferable to 319 jobs I'd say.

You people see the fuckery, shrug your shoulders and say "eh - just let them get away with it".

Fuck that, and fuck them - don't be conned into emptying your pockets to spare them the trouble of robbing you.

[–] EchoCT@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

I'm not saying we let them get away with it. I'm saying we bleed them in town square as an example of where greed gets them.

[–] phoenixz@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 year ago

Then you close that loophole too as soon as you find it
