      Only difference between this and a drug addict is the drug addict doesn’t generate value

        I question how much value this guy actually generates, too. Probably a normal amount for however many hours of work, but he and his immediate colleagues set the wages.

          To argue the value of the man is one thing, no CEO is worth a billion times more than their employee. However, my point is moreso that the destructive nature of an addicted individual is only tolerated depending on whether that person has a certain value tied to them.

          We would allow men like this to consume the world in favor of helping the drug addict.

        I dunno, we shouldn’t view people in terms of generating value, but rather in terms of needs.

        What the drug addict needs, is treatment. And this CEO needs a ton of it - to step down and foster a healthier work culture, where workplace democracy is present.
