cleaners don't have high stress jobs with lots of responsibilities. That's in most circumstances.
There are situations when cleaners have more responsabities and there probably are high paid jobs for cleaners like that out there, perhaps cleaning specialised equipment or crime scenes.
But in any standard work place I've been in the cleaner could spend half the day reading a book hiding out somewhere.
Managers jobs vary, I know managers who only get paid slightly more than cleaners per hour.
But they generally require more skills than a cleaner, people skills, multi tasking, numeracy, literacy and so on.
In my old work place none of the cleaners could actually communicate in English. Because it wasn't even required that they talk beyond a few simple words.
To an extent as far as I can tell, businesses seem to be like evolved animals. Evolution has it pretty much sorted out with admittedly some imperfections in some cases.
But I think in most cases businesses have spent a lot of time and effort calculating the value their staff is bringing to the company and do it pretty successfully. I'm not saying it's bad to think outside the box but you seem to be saying that bussinesses are basically paying their managers more than cleaners just because the people before them did and it's tradition in society.
It's kind of difficult to talk in general terms on this subject because like I said I'm sure there are cleaners who are paid lots more than managers in specialised circumstances. And managers who only get paid barely more than a standard work place cleaner.

Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them.
Impersonation is treason.
