So employee A who makes the company x million / year should be paid on par with a janitor? I think we just fundamentally disagree on that one.


Not necessarily, but a janitor should be paid a living wage. It's very easy to imagine an executive declaring that any employee who doesn't produce quantifiable profits should get peanuts. (Or "minimum wage," which is not a living wage in most of the US.)
