Yeah, if you are actually doing something, than yes, you can get paid for it. CEOs, in theory, are doing a job in the way that a captain of a ship is doing a job (organizing, directing, steering, etc). In practice, however, CEOs just hire a team of people to do all the work of running a company and just collect a paycheck. See also: landlords
Also that's just a job in the mode of production like any other one and should be compensated as such. No idiot deserves 20000x the average laborer because they planned shit, get the fuck out of here.
the company I work for would be better off without our idiot CEO/owner. If we unionized, fired him and hired some kid with an MBA instead not only could we split their 20000x paycheck between the people actually doing work, but also the company would be better ran smh i hate it
Unironically same, our CEO has made so many bad business decisions that the actual workers have lost their jobs over his bad choices. He came up with one cool idea like 30 years ago but literally has dementia brain now.
He tried to branch our very niche company into an unrelated field with a ton of competition, which failed and cost us $$$$$ and caused layoffs. He hired an award-winning documentary team to focus on an issue related to our company's sector, but then had them reshoot it like 3 times as he wanted a bigger and bigger role in it instead of the people we're supposed to be helping with our product. Oh and of course all the nepotism. Literally paid his kid $$$ for some mediocre music to go in this documentary (which is being shot by Actual Literal Hired Professionals). Is constantly saying shit that should get you dragged to HR for, being inappropriate and always bullying. Oh, also when someone was being sexually harassed at work, he just made the guy and his victim sign NDAs and made the whole company take online "here's not how to sexually harass anymore" and did nothing more.
i've straight up noticed everyone's productivity tanking considerably whenever the CEO reminds us he's still alive and that we work for him, too.

No they "make decisions"
Weird how a job that is just about your decision making ability requires you to be paid immense sums of money in advance and have a golden parachute.
vs say performance bonuses for making decisions which improve key metrics (which I'm pretty much fine with if those metrics include worker set goals).
