Unskilled does not mean un needed.

Tbh unskilled labor is so useless as a term lmao. None of the jobs I’ve seen described as unskilled labor actually require low or zero skills. I’ve interacted with several positions that would be marked as “unskilled labor” and virtually none of them actually struck me as a job that doesn’t require at least some degree of skill.

Anyways yeah CEOs are largely dead weight once a company gets to a certain size. You do probably need an executive office for handling managerial disputes but this is not a position that should be paying more than 10x what the lowest workers make. The CEOs are a lot more useful when companies are smaller or have a much more distributed leadership in a privately owned company. Mostly because they fill in for missing leadership, while in a larger company that’s impractical so usually the people lower in the corporate hierarchy fill in the place of missing leadership until they’re promoted or someone is hired for it.

"unskilled labor" doesn't mean you don't need any skill at the job. it just means you can be trained to do the job adequately in a negligible amount of time with no prior experience.
