Software developer: $69,083 n Why massive CEO, employee pay discrepancies aren't drawing much backlash By Megan Knowles A er a Securities and Exchange Com- mission rule required public compa- nies to disclose the pay ratio of their CEOs and median employees for the first time, corporate leaders prepared for backlash — but discussion on CEO pay appears to be overshadowed by conversation about gender pay gaps, Bloomberg reported. e disclosures showed CEOs of the 500 larg- est U.S. companies by market value received pay packages about 160 times larger than their standard employees' compensation, ac- cording to data compiled by Bloomberg. But the disclosures were accompanied by a different discussion of workplace inequities that muffled talk of CEO pay: the #MeToo movement. e movement started by ad- dressing sexual harassment, but revived dis- cussions about pay inequity between male and female employees. e pay gap between men and women has been stuck at 20 cents on the dollar for the last two decades. Several major companies have been accused of gender pay disparities, including Google, which was sued for pay discrimination in 2017. Microso and Twitter were sued for favoring male engineers for advancement. In response, companies such as Nike, Star- bucks and Adobe Systems announced salary adjustments to eliminate gender pay gaps. But the attention to transparency did not extend to the emerging CEO pay ratio data. "Public pressure, the #MeToo movement, the U.K. wage gap disclosures, all of that coming together" helped elevate the conversation about gender pay differences, Natasha Lamb, managing partner at Arjuna Capital, an in- vestment firm urging companies to disclose male-to-female pay ratios, told Bloomberg. e shortage of attention on CEO-to-worker pay, is "a missed opportunity to get to the core of income inequality and the fact that capi- talism is working for capitalists while many others are le behind," Ms. Lamb said. Keith Payne, PhD, professor of psychology at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, said the uneven interest may be linked to concepts about fairness. Americans may justify CEO pay due to beliefs in meritocracy and the value of hard work. Furthermore, people aren't as moved by the abstract statistics represented in the pay dis- closures. "Pie charts and tables don't move us to tears," Dr. Payne told Bloomberg. "Stories and individual cases are much more effective, especially if it's relevant to aspects of our identities." As pay disclosures accumulate in the next few years, the CEO-to-worker pay ratio may become more noticeable, Rich Clayton, re- search director at CtW Investment Group, told Bloomberg. "Americans will be frustrated when they see a company's profits grow year aer year while the median wage isn›t moving," Mr. Clayton said. "at will galvanize the point that some- thing's broken." n Orlando Health's operating income rises 51% in Q3 By Kelly Gooch O rlando (Fla.) Health saw its financial picture im- prove in the third quarter of fiscal year 2018, according to its bondholder documents. In the quarter ended June 30, Orlando Health record- ed revenue of $1 billion, up from $690.2 million in the same period in fiscal year 2017. The increase was partially attributable to higher net patient service rev- enue, which climbed 59 percent year over year. Orlando Health also saw expenses rise in the third quarter of 2018, from $612.1 million to $898.1 million. The system, which has seven acute care hospitals and two affiliated/joint venture hospitals, ended the third quarter of 2018 with operating income of $117.9 mil- lion, up 51 percent from the $78.1 million recorded in the same period of 2017.
