#yes that $226M figure includes stocks (though that's going to turn that into even more $)#but that's not even the highest annual compensation package he's gotten in the past few years#AND that's 800 times the MEDIAN compensation for employees!#so about half of Alphabet employees make LESS THAN 800 TIMES LESS THAN HE DOES#literally this one dude gets compensated at a ratio of OVER 800:1 compared to at least half of the company's workers#that's fucking insane#that would still be fucking insane if he made 800+ times the compensation of ONE worker#no one person is bringing 800x the value or working 800x harder than another#let alone 800x the value/work of over 50K individual people (assuming alphabet still employs over 100K people at this point)#but yeah they really had to lay off 12K+ more employees to cut spending /s#that's so weird i wonder if there could've been a simpler solution that didn't leave thousands of people scrambling for a new job /s#rinse and repeat this with all the big corporations and their various obscenely overcompensated execs...#pretty obvious where our wealth gap issues are coming from#in addition to them raising prices purely out of greed to funnel even more $ from everyone's pockets to theirs#plus buying off the gov't to give them tax breaks and bailouts and regulation cuts etc.#while literally fucking over everyone else and the environment and all#like not to be 'eat the rich' on main but this is literally what we should mean by 'eat the fucking rich'
