When it comes to wages, seeing the numbers can be quite an eye-opener.
In this story, an employee working in accounting payroll discovered shocking details about his CEO’s compensation.
He learned that their CEO was not only receiving a huge monthly salary and bonuses, but also getting extra benefits.
Seeing these numbers firsthand completely changed how he viewed the workplace.
Would you feel the same way? Check out the full details below.
Did you know that Managers/CEO´s get paid a housing benefit on top of their salary and bonus?
This is what “radicalized” me. I was in accounting and payroll for a smaller company.
Yet the CEO was getting paid around 30k every month.
He also got a bonus of his annual earnings. So, another like 360k every year as a bonus.
Oh, and naturally, the company paid all expenses of his business car.
I think it was a cheaper model for “just” 80k or so. Very humble.
This man shared that their CEO was also getting a monthly housing benefit.
But no, no. This was not enough. On top of all that, he was getting even more.
He already had 30k per month. He also had a yearly bonus and a car with all expenses covered.
This guy was also getting a “housing benefit” of 3.5k every month. You read that right.
Every month, this guy would get an extra 3.5k, so that he could cover some expenses of his mansion.
He was dumbfounded when he learned all of these.
He got a monthly salary every month for free. My eyes fell out.
From that moment onwards, I was “radicalized.”
Next time, when they tell you they “cannot increase wages,” remember that it is all crap.
Whoa, seeing those numbers up close would make anyone question how things are really run.
It’s hard not to feel frustrated when the regular employees get minimum wage, while the higher-ups just keep getting more and more.
OP’s reaction was understandable. Moments like that can really shift how you see fairness in a workplace.
