In reply to Steve_Jones :
What could any CEO seriously do to deserve $75m a year?
What could ANYONE do to deserve a million plus a week? Cancer researchers don't make that, transplant surgeons don't make that, but trust fund kids whose parents paid for them to go to the right schools and join the right elite clubs and groups, and paid to brush all their "youthful indiscretions", up to and including murder, under the rug seem to keep falling into these positions.
What do they actually do? Because all the ones I've heard on earnings calls and seen in televised depositions have been dumber than boxes of rocks, like so dumb you have to wonder how they survived to the age they are.
They all seem to have great friend and family connections though, the way they all change seats on boards at various companies and keep falling up until they overdose on hookers and blow or get strapped into their golden parachute when it comes out how they've been berkeleying their entire employee line or customer base, or both. Then they pay a pittance of a fine, or hang out in 5 start luxury resort pay to stay prisons for a while, and either get similar positions back, or disappear with all their ill gotten gains that were never paid back in restitution.
