Its very easy to question the compensation when there are several current instances of blatant abuse or decadent payment for what seems to be exceedingly poor performance. However, the vast majority of highly paid executives are worth every dime paid to them. They have to be clearly different than the rest of us to achieve what they did. Most are workaholics and not just to get 'there' but to stay 'there'. Most have an unbelievable work ethic. Most of them you'll never hear their names mentioned. I've worked with some incredible people at that level. Not once did I feel they were overpaid. The good ones, the one's we'll never hear about are truly gifted.
