    CEOs Earned 299x More Than Workers - The Real Problem Isn't What You Think

    Lindsay Mustain · Talent Paradigm

    😱 CEOs made 299 times more than their average workers last year - CNN (July 2021)

    👎 There is a serious inequity in how well paid CEOs are compared to the employees and workers who create the wealth and profitability inside of a company (that then lines that CEOs pockets).

    I have heard SO MUCH BS about how increasing salaries will bankrupt companies (which is more like just disappointing their shareholders with less money).

    But let's go to one of the basic laws of economics.

    Supply and Demand

    If supply is low (talent)

    And demand is high (hiring needs)

    Spoiler - you're gonna have to pay more money to hire people these days (or risk shutting your doors because you can't hire anyone).

    Want top talent?

    You're gonna pay EVEN MORE.

    So if you choose NOT to pay fairly to keep up with the market… you will not have the staff to run your business. Aka - business demise.

    That's bottom line.

    Choose to reward people appropriately. If you want top talent - pay like you actually want them to come onboard.

    Some companies have gotten this memo and get that if they want SURVIVE - they better start actually paying more.

    Some companies have chosen that they want to THRIVE - and hire top talent - and reward them as such.

    As in the last 3.5 months - we have had over $15MM in job offers cross my desk for negotiation for my clients.

    Want to learn how my average client gets a $100,000+ pay increase after we work together?

    Excited to share with you that we are hosting our first FREE 4 hour masterclass of 2022.

    I'll pull back the curtain and share the insider secrets to how we are crushing it and people are finally getting paid what they deserve.
