What I don't understand is why does competition matter for workers but somehow not for CEOs? I kind of understand and agree in the free market to an extent - if you're fine with hiring a dev for $100 instead of another dev for $1000, and you're okay with the difference in quality / time / etc. then go for it. But where is all this competition happening for CEOs?

Surely someone must be as qualified as Bitchai and willing to do the same job for a measly 100 million a year instead of his 200 million.

Workers do the actual work. CEOs just make decisions that anyone can make and they have a board of people usually backing them up.

LMK when your company hits a billion dollars in revenue and we'll see how easy the job is.
