Do CEOs make too much?


A great many do.


Why is that?


Because they are for the most part inherently egotistical and corrupt.


Could it be that they are hired to do
a job and that's what the job is worth?


Not a chance given the many examples of CEOs who have costs the
companies they "worked" for billions yet still managed to extract
millions in golden parachutes when the companies finally kicked their
sorry butts out.


Why do you resent high-paying jobs?


I resent a "job" where the the person in question is able to grossly
enrich themselves at the expense of pretty much the entire company - the
employees that are outsourced, the product lines that are sold for quick
profit, the company reputations that are irreparably damaged by quality
problems caused by profit increasing changes, etc. - and then bail out
with their golden parachute while the remains of the formerly good
company go down in flames.

High paying jobs where the person in question does legitimate work don't
bother me.


Noneof that is important.
The job is entirely about paying the share holders a dividend.

Quarterly....
