The pathetic shit of some pro-Western moron who is trying to imagine the situation in Russia worse than it really is. Why is there no point in median salary data? Simply because until now a significant part of those employed in the private sector receive "gray" or "black" salaries.
I disagree, what they are talking about is a more fair way of determining salary comparisons... as they mention if you take a company like Amazon where the boss is worth 120 billion and his salary is probably enormous, but it is also a huge company where you have thousands of minimum wage drones picking products from warehouses and sorting orders together and then shipping orders to customers, when you spread the billions being made by the company and take out the enormous wealth the investors are getting from the process and just look at the salary fraction of the costs of the business, a few very well paid CEOS and managers getting amazing salaries for doing **** all with everything paid for, company car, parking space, power lunches paid for by the company with potential clients when most of the time they are friends and family etc etc, and the majority of the people who work for the company at minimum wage working long hours for **** all pay see the average wage in the company is $300K per year they really don't have any trust in the system at all... they will either think it is bullshit, or they will think everyone else is getting paid way more than they are... neither of which is a good thing for the country.
With 20,000 workers, of which 4 are making millions per year and 200 are making 100Ks per year and the other 19,796 are on minimum wage with not perks and no time off and not time off if you get sick or you will get fired, then the average salary for that company really should be minimum wage.
Looks bad.... BECAUSE IT IS BAD.
Incomes should reflect the performance of the company... when you make 50 billion per year, how about instead of the boss getting it and the investors getting a large chunk of it, how about the workers get bonuses for the work they did to achieve that... and obviously money for a rainy day and investment in new equipment and toolings and systems to improve performance and quality of product etc, but the reality is that in the west if a company does well the investors make a dividend and the bosses go on expensive holidays and a few new machines are bought a few new buildings are built and the guy on minimum wage on the front line dealing with the customers gets minimum wage.
That is the core problem with western based economics, the workers have no rights or power, and the managers and investors keep most of the money generated by the organisation.
For the purposes of finding problems and fixing them a measure that shows lower numbers is better because it identifies problems that need attention... having averages means you can pretend everything is fine... that minimum wage worker is on an average $300K per year... why are they protesting and wanting a pay increase?
Most people don't understand properly what average means... It does not mean one or even no one earns that and half the workforce earns more and another half earns less. In the example I gave above of 20K workers, 204 would earn well above the average and it is their salaries that make the average salary look good, while the vast majority of the actual workers doing the actual work earn the minimum the government allows the company to pay them.
Obviously not all companies are bastards... but when the richest ones do it... and that is how they get rich... then it becomes accepted business practise so everyone can be bastards and just say that is how everyone does it to succeed.
In the 1950 in the US they had business picnics and helped the families of workers get education and healthcare and other support... these days they don't give a ****... Russia can learn from the west about what not to do and in the area of economics there is plenty to learn not to do...
If Russia uses the same whitewash tools to prove everything is rosy and everything is great then they will end up headed in the same direction as the west with a few billionaires and the rest poor... how long can the US continue.... they print their own money for fucks sake and yet it seems only the rich make money with wars and internal conflict. The rich control the media and the media are pushing the alphabet people to say and do stupid things... when a colonial white european power wanted to control a country they would normally pick a weak group that has been oppressed and put them in power. Such people would be happy to abuse and beat the rest of the population because of their previous treatment by that population, but equally their position of power is only because of that colonial power, so the colonial power gets a local force that is totally loyal to them that will murder their own people if that is needed to keep order so that colonial power can set up companies to extract the oil or gold or what ever they are in that country to steal.
In Saudi Arabia that was 100 years ago.... the Saudi Royal family are not thousands of years old, they are just over 100 years old.
So what is happening now... a new victim section of the community (alphabet people) is being given power and attention via the media that the rich and powerful control in the west... they are doing to their own countries what they were doing to the third world... will be funny if the alphabet people realise what is happening and say... hey, this is not about racism, or sexuality... this is about the very rich and powerful distracting the poor majority from their real problems and to have them squabbling amongst themselves. If they realise that they might start acting against the media and the wealthy and real solutions might start becoming possible.
You never find a solution when you don't see the real problem.
Using average salaries is a great way to make everything seem rosy, and in some companies it might actually be a fair system of measure because there are no minimum wage drones and everyone has an important job that is well paid, but most of the time it is dishonest.
Ask yourself what the average person of your nationality is... height, weight, gender... pick any of those and half the population are not average... do it properly and you will find no one is average... a class of 10 people if you measure their heights you might find no one in the class is the average height and that is the point... average is to represent the entire class with one value and is never meant to identify all ten people in that class or be used as an example of every person in that class.
