How were you able to determine he is making a million dollar salary? I'm unable to find that information.
Well, he made about 600K at this old job, this is just an assumption on my part. A very low assumption. He'll probably much, much more now.

Unlike CEO's, Im not over paid.
That statement is both a matter of opinion as well as a matter of perspective. Tell that to someone living on less than a dollar a day in Africa... The pay ratio between you and that struggling African is the same as the pay ratio between the "overpaid" CEO and you.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-22046652 Tue, 10 Mar 2009 15:53:22 EDT Re: ??? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-22046422 said by lakerfan82:

Those CEO's can still provide all that you said with smaller salaries.
Sure, CEO's can still provide all that with smaller salaries, but I'm sure you could provide the same services you do at a lower salary too. Why don't you?

Sure, CEO's can still provide all that with smaller salaries, but I'm sure you could provide the same services you do at a lower salary too. Why don't you? Probably because you CAN get paid what you do. Many CEO's get paid what they do because they are THAT good at what they do. Some aren't, but its a gamble that the company decides to take because its what they think they need to do to stay competitive.

I've got a problem with Golden Parachutes only in that it gives CEOs an incentive to sell the company, often times driving down the company's stock price to do so. I don't have a problem with Execs making boatloads just like I don't have a problem with athletes or movie stars making boatloads. If their job is in high demand then pay what the market will bear. That goes for any job, not just execs. Its why you wouldn't take less if you didn't have to.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-22045778 Tue, 10 Mar 2009 13:21:12 EDT Re: ??? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-22045742 said by hopeflicker:

Sometimes we have to ask ourselves, what's more important, saving lives or maximizing profits?
What does that have to do with anything?? We are talking about a wireless company here, not a cancer vaccine development lab or something like that........

How about getting paid to build up a struggling company that has the potential to put food on the table for thousands of employees and shareholders, as well as bring a communication/data product to the marketplace that has the potential to "save lives." First responders will likely be using much of this technology to get the job done... Its not as one dimensional as you may think...
Can we still pay them millions when their company tanks too?
How about golden parachutes?

Those CEO's can still provide all that you said with smaller salaries.

edit: dont get me started on ballplayers salaries ;)

I would also not really consider $1m to be "overpaid" anyway. There are many CEO's (and general business people) who make a lot more than that.
yeah, im aware of that. imo, 1 million is quite extensive especially when it comes to those that are in the position of saving/protecting lives.

While I am not sure where you came up with that number, what exactly is the problem with that??
You have no problem with over paid CEO's?

None whatsoever. Perhaps you are referring to the CEO's of the companies being bailed out that are being paid high salaries, and that is a different story. Not that I necessarily have an issue with that either, however in those cases it certainly should be looked at more closely.

Nothing. They hired him partly because of his international experience where Clearwire also hopes to make major inroads. They are paying not just for mgt ability, but for contacts in the EU and Asia where he has held executive positions. The CEO is more than just a manager, he is also the major lobbyist and interface to gov't officials.
