Average Adobe staffer makes $170k a year, and 185 of them = 1 CEO

Monday 20th March 2023 18:43 GMT Spoonsinger

Title says Average of 170K, but....

body of text says Median of 170K. They are different things. Then just to add confusion the next line says "Adobe said its calculation of CEO versus the average worker's pay equates to a “ratio of 185 to 1.”" which sort of suggests Adobe don't know what the difference between average and median is.
