Imho, the Fed ought to also have a metric for CEO pay rise for, say, companies above 10,000 employees. For a truly radical idea, the Fed could deem large increases as "inflationary".

They could. But they arent. Whether CEOs should get as much as they do (either as a matter of social or corporate policy), they definitely dont make enough at these huge companies to impacts the price of anything.

I humbly disagree. Very high increases in CEO compensation, combined with a sense of fairness, help drive employee wage demands – which in turn impact inflation.
