There are good CEOs and there are bad CEOs. It only the bad ones that people talk about. And the good ones tend to get lumped in with the bad.
I have no problem that Bill Gates, Steve Jobs & Meg Whitman made lots of money. Well, Bill Gates kind of cheated at the start, but I still give him credit for making computers more productive. They deserve their money, and their employees are well compensated. They haven't engaged in any dirty financial tricks to make their stock price go up. And I can respect that their contribution to the economy should be rewarded financially. They produce a product that millions or billions of people have used. And at the same time, the people made a choice to use their product and weren't forced to.
But there are other people who come along after the company has be running for 50 or so years, don't do very much, but walk away with a large chuck of money because it was in their contract.
