When it comes to base salary, there are various perspectives on whether the income of senior managers is significantly greater than ordinary workers. While some argue that it is unjustifiable. Both views are based on different reasons.
On one hand, in the domain of working period and performance, it is unreasonable for employees when they not only spend longer working time than higher position workers but also contribute to the company’s growth. If ordinary workers literally perform as similar as their managers without a wide rate of income, it can unfortunately lead those laborers to show a negative mindset such as disobeying orders, resulting in the conflict of working and eventually resignation. It is why those worker’s income should be considered near the director’s salary.
On the other hand, it cannot be denied that the higher salary among higher positions inevitably requires more experience, knowledge, and especially responsibility than lower ones. To explain, in order to run the business well, those managers require not only the skill as their junior to produce work but it also significantly demands the other skill sets such as leadership, and tolerance under the pressure of handling companies to survive during tough times. Hence, there is no doubt that directors will have a higher rate of income than ordinary employees.
In conclusion, although there are a number of workers who believe that it is unfair when directors can earn much more money than them, in my opinion, I strongly believe that this different payment is reasonable due to more experience and responsibility.
