Assuming salary maps to value add, let's say if the CEO is worth 300x the secretary, he needs 300 secretaries.


I'm not sure if this comment was meant tongue-in-cheek, but wouldn't this assume the administrative overhead scales on a linear 1:1 ratio with the CEO's value? If a engineer's value is 2x another's, it doesn't necessarily mean the former uses, say, 2x the electricity/copier machine/office space. But maybe that was your point and I'm being dense.


I was more making the point that CEO salaries are crazy and unjustifiable, to be honest.
