@Tsutomu6 its a disagreement that could never be resolved.

thats why im going to make sure my manager or whoever needs to make sure their manager is trustworthy intelligent and knows what he/she is doing. a good manager wouldnt make a deal without checking into the outcome

@GetMerkedHD

I agree with you to a certrain degree, BUT there are boundaries to this. What I am concerned about, are managers with contracts that give them tens of millions just to take over and after half a year they'll leave the company & got nothing done.

Managers, who combine two big companies into one and get hundereds of millions for that deal no matter if it helps either one of the companies or not.

And for me, noone should earn more than 100 times the loan of a regular worker.

@Tsutomu6 i do because the ceo created the company and without the ceo there wouldnt be need for workers and there would be less jobs. The ceo is the most important person in keeping the company in line. If the workers had worked harder or maybe gone to business school of their own they maybe could have been a ceo of their own. But since i worked harder had the right ideas and did things correctly i deserve the money. without my ideas the company wouldnt be alive

Compare CEO compensations from the last 10 years to CEO compensation 10-20 years ago.

And I didn't say wallstreet is a company, but there you find the companys I'm talking about.

Of course a part of that "compensation" is bound to company sucess, but it's redicolous how much is spent from a companys business value in % on their CEOs compensation, regardless how the company is doing.

Just look up some major and minor banks for example...

You think this is "fair and balanced"?

[GetMerkedHD]

@Tsutomu6 you dont know what your talking about dude. wallstreet isnt a company anyways. IF wallmart does bad one year then the ceo is not going to do as well. He is going to do well still but not as well as he would if they had a good year.
