Capitalism is insane for a lot of obvious reasons but one of them is that people genuinely believe essential and necessary work should be underpaid just because the ✨ vibes ✨ of the job aren’t cool enough
if a CEO doesn’t show up for 3 months, it’s called a sabbatical and business operates completely normally without issue. if the janitorial staff doesn’t show up for 3 months, the business can no longer function. so who should be getting paid more?
@keke
The janitors should be paid properly, in the absence of janitorial staff, the management are perfectly capable of using cleaning equipment, perhaps after a day or two of having to clear up, they will then make an effort to also treat the janitorial staff better, and of course pay them more.

I've never known a CEO of a company I worked for to go on sabbatical, but if they can get away with that they must have a lot of trust in the folks they've surrounded themselves with. I do know of a CEO who had a shower installed in his office to enable late nights.
I don't see how any of this is relevant to who should be paid more. Whoever negotiated a higher salary should get paid more, because that's what they agreed to work for. There is no "should" here beyond keep your word
