Do CEOs make too much? Why is that? Could it be that they are hired to
do
a job and that's what the job is worth? Why do you resent high-paying
jobs?


So you think that CEOs should be rewarded for driving the company toi
the brink of bankruptcy?


It's not that simple. The CEO doesn't do day-to-day QC but...somebody down
his chain of command does and that head will roll. The captain of a ship is
ultimately responsible for everything on the ship but doesn't handle the
operation of the milkshake machine in the lounge, he delegates that...get

So if the CEO isn't ultimately responsible for the company's
performance, why is he making the big bucks?

Seems you like to argue the "have the cake and eat it too" approach
Tom.

You wouldn't happen to be an owner of a business, would you?
