Hob Personally I just don't think C-level types or VP's are worth the enormous separations in pay they seem to enjoy over the top engineers and senior marketing and managing staff. I mean, you go from less the $200K and then jump up to over $2 million.
It's a frat-boy scam that works well in our current business environment...for the CEO's. The whole rich get richer thing comes to mind.
And while I don't think many of these bosses deserve the salaries and benefits they get, I'm certainly all for them having the ability to be able to get away with it. |

I really have no problem with companies paying their leaders as much or as little as they want. Type-A personalities who decide to make their lives about 80 hour work weeks are certainly welcome to their spoils.
I do think when people who pull in millions in salary and options crow about how "we're not getting raises this year," it's either about portraying fiscal responsibility to investors, or building up morale amongst lower level employees.
When the latter, it's usually followed by that cheesy, board room meeting where the guy seventy two pay grades above you with three personal boats explains how he's making "sacrifices," and expects you -- who are barely meeting your mortgage -- to follow his golden and selfless example. |

Agreed on all points.
Thats got to be some sort of record.
