@soothfast saidWhere does the extra money come from to give higher salaries if productivity is not also higher?
Only half-flippantly, I'd say it's the norm for CEOs and the C-suite set, at least in the US for the past half-century. Of course, replace wages with salaries and bonuses.

This link says productivity has outstripped wages so that is where that is right now.
Wages have not kept up with inflation but Inflation will die down, it has been slowly going down for a year.
