“Most people are underpaid for what they're actually worth”
Agree
- Executive pay has exploded while wages stagnate
- Profits rise but paychecks don't
- Essential workers proved their value in pandemic
- Companies can always afford more than they offer
- Productivity gains never reach workers
Disagree
- Market determines fair value accurately
- Many overestimate their actual contribution
- Compensation includes benefits, not just salary
- Easy jobs shouldn't pay like hard ones
- Worth is subjective, market is objective
