I'd rather worry about the politicians we "hire" at the ballot box who then spend their days working against our interests and courting rich friends. Their only "performance review" happens every 2, 4 or 6 years. Even then "firing" them at the ballot box is difficult because the system incentivizes them to make as many rich friends as possible during their tenure.
Here's an idea: let's start a co-op revolution which would cut the unnecessary fat from the bottom line. Imagine, workers hiring a "CEO" while also democratically deciding compensation for the position.
The Bears, a $3billion operation, are privately owned. If the owners want to pay their CEO too much it is their prerogative. If they want to fire him they can. If the organization fails to keep fans and other profit sources happy they go out of business. Heck, they could hire me for a lot less. I'd work 12 hours a day, never wash my car and never drink with The Boys after work. Problem is, I know nothing about running a football team so they would go broke pretty quick. That is how capitalism works. Apply capital in the most efficient way.

Eat the rich, then the sycophants.
The elites will be torn apart in increasingly colourful ways as per the traditions of collapsing civilisations.
