Just imagine how good it would be if the CEO of Walmart were to give his entire compensation to his employers instead. Each of them could be earning an additional $9.50... per year, or about 0.45 cents per hour. For Amazon you’d be looking at about 0.09 cents per hour. For Microsoft you’d be looking at an astonishing 7.9 cents per hour. The idea that CEO compensation has some sort of impact on employee compensation is just a myth.
