Do you think she is right?

He'd have to stop spinning first.Yes. And I bet Walt would think so too.

Maybe she is, maybe she isn't. She's right if she can prove that increasing the pay of the bottom 10% of Disney employees would increase profits and therefore drive Disney's share price even higher. If she does a study like that, and presents it to the board, then that's worth a discussion.
I disagree.
The "bottom 10%" of the employee pool is not directly charged with increasing profits and share price - Iger is. If she were to prove that paying them more increased profits, then should could make the case that they are worth more and should directly benefit in that way. But, if she can NOT directly prove a correlation, then what? Pay them less?
If she can't prove a correlation, then pay stays where it is. Disney isn't a charity.
Why do you only support raising pay if she can prove correlation? What evidence is there that they deserve their current pay if she can't prove correlation?
And, why is it just a generic "increase their pay" if correlation is proven? Why isn't it tied to specific measurements of impact?
There isn't evidence that they "deserve" their current pay. But, you have to pay people a living wage. If you decrease the pay, then the people you do have may leave and you'll be tasked at filling those spots with presumably less talented people.
I never said an increase shouldn't be tied to specific measurements of impact. That goes beyond the scope of this thread.
So, a level of "talent" is a measure?
