This little remark from @nrmacdonald is a really, really, really good point. Take half a moment to get the context and mull it over.

It's a great conceptual point, though I have very little understanding of how you'd usefully measure it.

I assume it’s taking the numbers from the screenshot at face value — although when I do the math myself, I get -89% CEO productivity growth, so…??
ceo_pay = (1,460 + 100) / 100 = 15.6 pay growth factor vs baseline
productivity = 1.646 pay growth factor vs baseline
productivity / ceo_pay = 0.1055 pay-per-productivity factor vs baseline
(1 − productivity / ceo_pay) × 100 = 89.45, i.e. -89% growth
@nrmacdonald, am I missing something?
