people are posting a news clip (http://www.upworthy.com/words-like-good-and-will-dont-belong-together-if-this-is-the-kind-of-thing-they-do-5) on Facebook today about how unfair goodwill industries is to the labor force. they position that the ceo makes a half million dollars and the disabled staff make less than minimum wage. there is a lot i can say about that and i will but first and foremost i wonder what the ratio is for many multi million dollar industries of ceos to staff.
1. disney corp ceo - 40 million - what do you think the ticket taker makes?
2. ralph lauren ceo - 36 million - what do you think a retail clerk makes?
3. starbucks ceo - 39 million - what do you think a barrister makes?
4. mcdonald's ceo 28 million - what do you think the cashier makes?
sure, goodwill has to update it's payment policy but as a person who worked to get disabled jobs, there is more to the store than the ceo makes x and the staff makes y. if we do that, then we must look at all industries.
tomorrow, i will discuss the overall problem that is happening at goodwill. until then, don't knock it until you know the entire story.
