CEOs of large corps are rarely DFers. If they don't perform the shareholders will soon turf him/her.You have to also look at just how their annual pay is made up. How much is salary and how much is in shares or performance bonus tied to share price?
If the shareholders are happy no one else has a right to complain because it is shareholder's money. If you as a customer don't like how much the CEO of megacorp is being paid don't buy their product.
I've been an employee, and I've had my own shop. Never on the scale of a CEO that's for sure but the analogy is similar. The pressure of working for yourself and family in your own business can be much more stressful than being an employee. The employee, if the employer is viable has much less to worry about then the business owner. You know the check will be there every week and your responsibilities end when you punch the time clock at the end of the day. The strain remains on the employer 24/7. One needs the other though. And each needs to respect the others circumstance.

I think there should be a cap on the wages of CEOs of any government or public service, like Ontario Hydro and Canada Post. What CEOs do is mostly delegate, they don't do much themselves Nobody who is paid out of the public purse needs more than $150,000. yearly to live well on.
Government should probably keep out of private businesses wage scale but when the taxpayers are paying the bills it's a different matter.
I don't care what others make. What I do care about is the lack of opportunities available to the youngins who have to suffer because of governmental incompetence.
I don't think you stayed long enough to outwit anybody. I'm starting to lose track of all the members here that have pwned your silly asss
Yes and no- When the gov't needs money they have no problem whatsoever raising it! I'm far from 'hurting' myself but see dozens daily who are struggling while there are pockets of obscene wealth in our country. Like the old adage- "the rich get richer and the poor get poorer". Maybe if the ratio was changed from 184 times to 164 times a lot of people would be far better off.
If paying someone 184X more than the janitor earns the company $millions, they are worth every penny.
You doubt these people are hired and are paid their worth based on merit? Companies just hire in the hopes of making money?
Why are the poor, poor and the rich, rich? Fate? Luck? Heritage? Race?
By "looked after" you mean what?
Ambition and risk are why the rich are rich.
Why should we close the wage gap? Why shouldn't it be even wider?
I have no problem with that, Corduroy, you have a perfect right to your opinion which you've hinted at. As our views are poles apart we have absolutely nothing to discuss. Wishing you a happy New Year!
Civil Engineering is both urban streets and highways. Did the "worked up the ranks" fella have a Civil Eng diploma or even the lesser Civil Eng Certificate?
Question for ya JLM; "Is E Hunter Harrison worth his salary"?
I see you still haven't answered her 2 QUESTIONS! She didn't voice an opinion, she asked 2 questions.
Had you have read more you'd find his speciality is pulling companies from the brink of bankruptcy turning them into stellar, efficient, money making companies and saving thousands of jobs.
That is why he and others make the big bucks.
Sh-t flows downhill. These are the types of CEOs who fire everyone who f-cked up and bring in fresh top of their game execs who will dedicate their lives to the company.
