I lived in that world as a peon....
CEOs that were "good" or great....compensated at a level that few here can even relate to. One's that truly sucked and destroyed VERY profitable 100 yr old entities....10x that
.
Don't blame the China trade on anyone but "corporate b$"
No CEO should earn nearly 100 million in a single year...when they suck....
Let me load the BOD with my "pals" ....they'll decide what "we" are all worth....sweet deal.
IBM, mega-banking (2), Big Tobacco....those were my gigs and I watched them "$oar" since the late 80s...
Jobs & Curry....are worth it.
Most aren't....jmho.
My last CEO outsourced an IT dept in '08....her salaried was doubled to 15 million in '09....she's rich and retired....corp is ancient history now....foreign owned.
Greed is good....if yer greedy
