What I find so funny is why people are so concerned with what he makes. Its a common fact that big buisness ceos and coos and all the other titles make money out the wazoo. What they don't tell you is that the money he is paid is only half the story. I bet he is getting a good 15 million in stock and options and benifits and free trips on the company jets thats not even included in that figure. Again though he is far from exclusive. Publicly traded companies are required to release finical reports and part of that includes ceo pay and incentives. Alot of them have them on their websites. Look for invester relations or things like that if you are curious. One of the real issues that has been raised on this post is the class struggle in the world today. Now not to sound callous or jaded on this whole subject but my general advice is to get over it. This is be no means an American invention or a new thing. Its the way of the world. It has been too, maybe not always but atleast since we decided to organize into tribal systems.
Was that a rant? A note on the actull article here.. This man is by no means Robin Hood but if this move does in fact raise morale and increase his companies worth and in effect his pay... Well more power to him. Its his job and he earned it.
