I shudder to know what the discrepancy is there. Oh, wait. Those aren't even technically "employees"....

For a struggling casual clothing store, why on earth is their CEO paid such an inordinate sum? The shareholders should sue.

Parent company Gap Inc. reported a 2% decrease in Q2 sales, hitting $4 billion, and has seen income trend downwards over the last couple of seasons.

For the last two years, Gap's holiday messaging featured a diverse cast performing a reworked song and dance number against a simple background. In 2018, the ad focused on spreading love and "feeling good and doing good" in today's "edgy" cultural climate. In 2017, "Meet Me in the Gap" featured hip-hop artist Future and Cher singing a cover of Sly and the Family Stone's "Everyday People."

apparently "spreading love, feeling good and doing good" doesn't apply to their workers.

People (at least about 75% of us, excluding Trumpanzees) can tell when they see obvious bullshit.
