Strange judging only by how good they are with computers. They might have some other valuable skills that gets them paid highly. It could also be some nepotism ofcourse.

Yeah, it’s like judging a Ferrari owner for not knowing how to change the oil…

This is not a fair comparision imo. There is an assumption that salary is corellated with experience/knowledge/being useful. Fairer comparision would be judging Ferrari mechanic for not knowing how to change oil

I guess I’ll start screening my surgeons, attorneys, and accountants for how well they know how to use Zoom. This seems reasonable.

By that reasoning knowing how to screen share is crucial knowledge for all high-paid jobs

You are paid according to your responsibilities, not your skills. Well, partially for your skills, but it’s not the be-all end-all of your salary.

Sadly, after a certain point, people become so rich that they can skirt their responsibilities, which is problematic, but that’s a separate thread.

Directors are known for their valuable and unique skill sets, accountability, transparency, and sense of duty and responsibility. Of course it only makes sense for them to be paid well, duh.
