Yes but one of the primary ways corporations are making money these days is by not hiring enough workers and not paying current workers 3x the salary even though they’re expected to do the work of 3 people. So in that way, her salary IS directly tied to exploiting the workers

Do you think JP Morgan or Andrew Carnegie were generous with their workers? Only when they had to be.

I wrote that comment. EPS isn’t technical, it’s just the amount of profit made per share. It existed when Andrew Carnegie was around.
