Are Top Ceos Underpaid? (2019)

It’s obviously going to be flawed unless it’s a very basic job. The peripheral costs are the devil. Eg: Stationary, payroll costs, uniform, software licences, swipe cards, coffee, water, rent.

However mine is an awful lot higher than the CEOs (as a percentage, not in dollars).

Not sure if I'm missing a facetious tone

200/12 is the cost of a pizza.

Unless you are buying everyone a pizza divide a pizza by 6 or 7 and you end up at $50,000 plus this is a cost you can deduct.

You are buying that many pizzas you can get a huge discount.. probably get those costs down by half. $25,000...

Other teams got a lot more actually, others none.

To estimate how many people the *12 pizzas* were for, we can use a standard rule of thumb:

### General pizza math:

* A *large pizza* usually has *8 slices*. * Most people eat *2–3 slices*.

So:

* *12 pizzas × 8 slices = 96 slices total* * If people ate:

  * **2 slices each** → feeds **48 people**
  * **3 slices each** → feeds **32 people**

Since this was for a *team* within a 5,000-employee company — probably a local team (not the whole company) — the number of people was likely in the *25–40* range.

### Final Estimate:

*12 pizzas would reasonably feed about 30 to 40 people*, assuming average appetites.
