Not enough. We need more pressure.
Just to put $10 million a year into better perspective: that is ~ $833,000 per month or ~$208,000 each Week! for one year

Cornell, who has led the Minneapolis-based retail chain since 2014, received $9.9 million in total compensation for 2024, an 87% drop from his 2020 peak of $77.5 million.
What the actual fuck? Why are humans being paid $10m A YEAR, let alone over $75m?!
I love breaking down these huge salaries into 2 week chunks because I think it brings the disparity into perspective more for people since most of us get paid 2x a month.
For $75 million that is a twice a week paycheck (I know CEOs don't get paid this way) of $3,125,000!
That's the total of 1000 employees 2 week paychecks if they all made ~ $40 an hour
What it must be like to be able to retire after your onboarding seminar.

Really painted a target on his back, didn’t he?
I see what you did there...
oh no. anyway.
He still “earned” 753x more than the median Target salary. Crushing, I am sure. How will he ever survive?
Target’s CEO pay ratio now stands at 753 to 1, with median employee pay at $27,090.
I'm not sure that there's any aspect about this news that's truly "uplifting".
Not even the slightest uplifting.
Stock holders and owners are probably dictating these changes. Not the CEO alone.
