    CEO's really do make too much money. They shouldn't even have a salary, their pay should be all incentive based through divs and shares of stock. The CEO's that really know what they're doing take salaries of $1. They still have an absurb net worth, but that doesn't bother me as much as a $15 mil/yr salary.

    CEOs should be paid what they are worth. Just like very other person.
    This fucker just made bank exercising the termination cash-in on his contract. He'll take two years off flying around the world on his jet, take long walks with his wife to gain some perspective while his agent is working on his next gig.

    Fucking awful!

    Someone lived the American dream.

    The mother fucker put in 35 years with Target. During that time he proved himself to be smarter than the guy next to him, and he made it to the top.

    At the end of the day he fucked up and was shit canned. He was paid, and shit canned at market rates.

    If you don't like it ... work your ass off and make your own American dream.

    When that fails, pull a creepycoug and imagine you are someone special.
    Everything you said is correct.

    The problem is that the market rates for CEO's are too high in the sense that they lack risk for the actual CEO.

    A CEO could get hired, whack off 24/7 in his office until it's revealed that's all he does, and then get a golden parachute into retirement.

    CEO' s need to be held even MORE accountable than the average employee. It often seems like the other way around.
    They should at least have the decency to use the rest room.
    They normally have their own off the office ...

    I don't think someone should be able to make like say... 100 million dollars and keep all that money. They don't need that much, no one does... very selfish imo.

    It's not so much the amount they make, it's the disparity between that and the plebeian types that's the problem. Fucking Mexican CEO salaries are closer to the avg. worker than US CEOs. Mexico for Christ's sake.

    So if the CEO made less, the plebeian types would be better off? Or they would just feel better?

    Because Mexico is kicking so much ass.

    I think CEOs should have to send out checks to everyone that doesn't have enough money.

    "I do think at a certain point you’ve made enough money. "
    Imagine if they donated a good chunk of that money into research of alternate energy like burning wood chips.
    ... or growing corn and being allowed by rule to jack the green value of your bio credits by "eliminating" the carbon footprint from the diesel you're burning in your tractor to grow your green bio fuel corn ... by using "green "fuel" in your tractor... (it's the same old diesel fuel really. What makes it "green" are the accounting gimmicks allowed by rule... get it?)... thereby boosting the "green" value of your carbon credits...

    New capital is created with new bio fuel, new bio fuel tradable credits and new green tractor credits. New capital is created when we pretend that burning tractor fuel is now "good" for the environment. ... get it?

    Actually, it would be rare a CEO gets golden parachute money when being fired for cause (i.e. beating off in their office 24/7). GP contracts are usually set up for when a company is sold/merged. GP's are there to incentive the CEO to sell the company when it is in the shareholders best interest rather than blocking or holding up a deal so they can hang onto their salary.

    I'm not saying they are all good, but when you are talking about billions of dollars at stake in these deals, it's not that much to ensure it happens smoothly.

    I do think its' interesting when people get pissed that a CEO makes X amount more than the average employee. As if that is the reason the average worker doesn't make more and it's not fair! For example, the CEO of GM will be paid about $15 million this year. Around 175-200X the average worker. GM has about 200k employees. If the CEO were paid zero, everyone could get a $75 a year raise....YAY!!!
    Was he fired for cause? I know the media is implying such, but, he ain't walkin' away from that golden parachute without a fight... in potential full-on TMZ public view... if necessary... surely grown gentlemen can work something out quietly...

    As I've said many times, yes the climate is changing, we aren't going to stop it, so the only question remaining is who profits and who loses?

    - traders win.

    - public employees who invest in "Green " funds for their retirement ... and ego's win because now they have new shit to dollar cost average their MYRA's into.

    - Investment Bankers who underwrite this shit, win
