Spolu 14: Management Salaries
All spolus will be subject to a cap on management salaries. While many citizens regard current management salaries as “obscene,” there still needs to be some recognition for the skills of management to keep the spolu in a sustainable and profitable direction. My sense of my internet discussion suggests that the public would be accepting of a multiplier of 20 between the top earner and the lowest earner in a spolu.
Included in the financial sheets would be a schedule of top salary/wage earners in the spolu and a summary of the wages paid to the lower-level workers.
If the managers want a raise, there are two ways. First, they can lead the spolu into generating more profits, which should increase the profit distribution, which then puts more money into the manager’s pay. Second, the spolu can increase the wages of the lowest workers, which also raises the cap on the salaries for managers.
The motivation for management performance is going to be higher in spolu network than in the corporate world.
