Occupy LCC!

Executive pay is now about five times higher than it was in 1980, adjusted for inflation. The average salary for the rank-and-file American worker, however, is about the same as it was in 1980. Really? Does American exceptionalism exist only at the top 1% of our workforce? Did our CEOs really get 5 times better than they were in 1980 and our workers remain just ho-hum average? I don't think so. Neither does the rest of America. When there is this kind of disparity while these same CEOs are paying taxes at a rate lower than their secretaries, their receptionists, and the people who clean their offices, it is personal.

John makes about 160 times my salary, but then again he really does a great job on those quarterly voicemails. Leadership by blogs, videos and voicemails is the mark of true excellence. If he starts tweeting, he'll be worth 260 times my salary.

Consider yourself lucky. For the truly low rank and file employees at Lilly, the difference is more like 400-800 times their salaries. And on top of this, they are the most discriminated against employees in the company, who are also never allowed to progress beyond their current level. Regardless of how much skill or education they may have. So, not only do they get rewarded with financial hardship, but also prejudice within the palace walls at Eli Lilly.

Are you saying that for the price of one CEO, we could have 800 productive employees executing on critical pipeline issues? Am I missing something here?
 


















It doesn't matter what you wear,
Just as long as you are there.

This is an invitation,
Across the nation,
A chance for thoughts to meet.

There will be dancing,
Dancing at LCC.
