I’m a CTO at a small medical supplier company and I work hard to make sure we’re ethical.

Good for you, tell me, what is the average wage/compensation for your company? What is the ratio of CEO pay to worker pay?

Do you know those numbers off the top of your head? Does anyone but the CFO know? If you don't know those numbers off the top of your head, you aren't really trying your best to be ethical.

Oh fuck your attitude already.

Sorry but you have a rotten attitude. Nothing is enough, people trying suck anyway, and no true Scotsman!

Here: I have a relatively high salary, it's give or take a little over twice the country's average. My salary is about twice as high as the lowest salary at the company. The lowest salary at the company is slightly below he country's average. I'm also the first to enter, the last to leave, and I work on the weekends as well to try and give my best to everyone. Not bragging, it is what it is. I also live in a < 500sqft apartment with my wife, and I'm totally happy with it, we don't need more. I'm not rich, I'm upper middle class at best.

I don't know the salaries of the other C levels, but I know how they live and what they drive and where they spend their vacations; Their salaries are comparable to mine. I got my salary because of the shit tonne I give tonhe company, same goes for the other C levels.

Your attitude of " everyone who has more than me is evil" is shit and is also part of the reason why things are as bad as they are. Goes for all people who think that any company automatically is evil because some companies are. There are LOADS of people who just work hard for what they have and who really try to make sure other have it good too.

You don't get to judge me, so take your damned attitude and fuck off until you can behave normal
