With this baseball contract which should make everyone gasp in disbelief, no one and I mean no one should complain about corporation executives getting paid exponentially more than lower level employees. With this baseball player getting paid 700 million USD (about 70 million per year for 10 years) how much do you think the lower level employees in baseball in general and the Los Angeles Dodger specifically get paid and how exponentially more is 70 million per year than their pay. This is for playing baseball not running a worldwide corporation with thousands of employees where the senior executives need to be successful to make the corporation successful. If this baseball player does not succeed the Dodger, while losing money but is not going out of business like might happen to a corporation if the senior executives do not succeed. https://lnkd.in/efgc6FB9
