Does it matter?

That depends on your values. If your values say quantifying how much workers stand to gain if they shut down exorbitant C-suite wages, then good for you.

In most cases decreasing the CEO wage increase to increase workers would only increase workers wages by a tiny amount. That's almost never the point. The point is that giving the CEO a bigger raise than the workers is a mockery of who actually produces anything.
