In the phrase, "As far as I know, you're already one of the highest paid employees in the corporation", what is the meaning of "as far as I know"?
"As far as I know" is a common idiom meaning "from what I know" or "to the degree that I know".
Bruno is not expressing that he "doesn't know" or "isn't sure" what Connors is speaking about, but rather that he does know that Connors is already well paid.
This is not what Bruno is expressing.
This is not the best choice here. "Far" is not being used in the sense of distance in this construction.
