What about education?By Anonymous on March 25, 2009, 4:54 pmTell us about the credentials these guys have. I would expect at least one doctorate plus 20+ years experience in the field if not in the actual company. Lol yeah right! I bet their credentials read, "Daddy was rich. So was mommy."
The author of this "slideshow" is not too brightBy Anonymous on March 24, 2009, 9:46 pmDoesn't the author realize the outrage is over bonuses for companies that received taxpayer-funded bailout? Who cares if a company pays there CEOS lots of money? The problem with AIG is they receiveved billions of taxpayer money BECAUSE the CEO's ran the company into the ground. Doesn't the author of this slide show read the news??
Get a ClueBy Anonymous on March 24, 2009, 5:45 pmNobody seems to understand is that our economy isn't based on greed. Any excess of money that is given to one person is money taken out of the company and there is less money for raises, less money to hire, less money for new equipment, less money for better benefits. When the CEO of United Health Care recieved 1.3 Trillion in compensation, that wasn't because he is a genious, its because there is an appointed Compensation Board, they then sit on other company boards and are interelinked http://www.usatoday.com/money/companies/management/2002-11-24-interlock_x.htm This is a game set up by wealthy and the powerful and a game you'lll never be invited to play. The game is setup to make as much money off the backs of labor and to walk away with as much money as you can. Any money that these people think they deserve doesn't go back into the economy but instead is stored into off shore accounts paying as little as possible in taxes and leaving less money in the economy to function. This game is set up for you to lose and for them to win. Wake up. The president gets paid 400K per year has 10,000 nuclear war heads, a whole military and an entire nation to protect including 14 trillion GDP per year. Where is his bonus? “There’s class warfare, all right,” Mr. Buffett said, “but it’s my class, the rich class, that’s making war, and we’re winning.” Warren Buffett NYT 11-26-2006
BonusBy Anonymous on March 26, 2009, 10:36 amSince you mentioned the President - our current president has received plenty of money in many different forms. He is now lying to you - acting as if he is outraged. That is only becuase they were caught taking care of their fat cat friends at AIG - Chris Dodd -D and Barrack Obama - D - are the two biggest recipients of money from AIG - and now they are acting outraged!! The public should be outraged at how stupid America was to vote democrats in two years ago and then again last year for president. AIG, Fannie/Freddie (again big liberal donators), Obama's almost entire administration has some tax scam, then Barnie Frank (had a boyfriend at Fannie, while he was in charge of regulating them (but of course by simply making a statement that its the republicans fault - the sheep fall in line and chant "yea, its that evil Bush's fault" "yes we can" ....., how about Congressman Rangel - D, from NY - talk about getting kickbacks while telling you he is on your side (and the sheep follow). This guy helped create the tax code - but claims when he was caught in as a tax cheat - he claiims "he didn't understand the code" So keep voting these guys in - and watch as executive pays keep increasing - as they are the friends of your wonderful democratic party - that lies EVERY day to you, and you keep buying it - due to your unrealistic hatred of anything republican. don't forget the dems have been in charge for two years - they won on "change" and "transparancy" and "cleaning up Washington". Oh they changed Washington alright - for the worse.
Get A Clue?By Anonymous on March 24, 2009, 6:06 pmI know plenty of CEOs who built there businesses from nothing (many through my network at www.affluence.org) and they give back. they create jobs, value for customers, and are some of the most philanthropic people i know.

Clue is third times a charmBy Anonymous on March 26, 2009, 4:42 pmWhat people seem to miss is that nomatter what the performance of these 'leaders' are they are overly compensated when the big picture is involved. They go to meetings and make decisions whether they are good or bad. The real work for companies come from the bottom up. Hardest workers are usually paid the least. Golden Parachutes should be a white collar crime. Ask Mr Brown from EDS if his 50 million get out of here now bonus was fairly given due to the fact that his performance was lack luster. Poor working ethics won't get us all 50 million parachutes. The majority of the rest of us have to play the lotto. But don't I feel hopeless. At least I have a job and that pays more than none.

MotorolaBy Anonymous on March 24, 2009, 5:03 pmTime will tell if the minds at Motorola made the right decision bringing in Dr. Jha for that whopping $104 million. Somthing tells me that Motorola could have found a brilliant turnaround specialist for much less. What get's me angry is after spending a hundred million that they don't have recruiting Dr, Jha, many innocent employees will be shed in an almost certain "restructuring", further exacerbating the downward sprial of the American economy. What may be more criminal is the fact that they also paid Greg Brown $24 million to lose that $4.2 billion - yes folks, billion.

And?By Anonymous on March 24, 2009, 2:02 pmHow many of the companies listed have received a bailout? It's not the governments nore the general people's job to police how much anyone is making. If you're an investor and don't like it, then pull out or take the necessary steps to change the problem. If you have nothing invested and are still defiant about how much someone makes, then you should seek professional help. You know, a psychiatrist likely makes more money than you do too...maybe you should be upset about that too? No?
What a stockholder isBy Anonymous on March 24, 2009, 1:59 pmwhy does anyone care about the pay of successful companies? if you're a shareholder you have the right to vote on the pay of your executives, or at least the election of your board. If you don't like it, sort it out through your ownership rights. If you're not a shareholder, don't worry about it. Noone is getting screwed here.
This is interesting and needs to be put into light but....By Anonymous on March 24, 2009, 1:49 pmThe outrage at AIG is the fact that consumers were basically financing those salaries on a non concensual basis. You can't directly compare these two situations. If someone wants to invest money in Red Hat and finds out that a CEO is making a huge salary, then fine...if the company is making money so be it, if the investor doesn't like it or the company is making no money, then the investor can take their money out. AIG gave bonuses to the portion of the company that caused its bankruptcy, and on top of that used taxpayer money against our will to do it. I understand the meaning behind this article, but directly comparing the two is apples to oranges I'm afraid.
very interestingBy Anonymous on March 23, 2009, 1:43 pmGreat find. I believe Jobs sets the standard where if your granted sor own so much stock your salary should be little to none. Now if you don't then your salary should be an average of what others is with performance incentives.

GraphBy Anonymous on March 30, 2009, 10:17 amI'd love to see a graph describing the company's revenue for the last 5 years against what they paid their executives. My glance of this list looks like the better the company did, the less they paid their executives and vice versa. How about showing the executives pay as a percentage of the companies net worth. In many of the egregious cases in this list the pay is 1% or better. Does that sound at all deserved? Especially for declining companies? Maybe they should pay 1% back to the company for failure to lead.
