the government I think will tighten the screw down on these larger companies and is happening a little now, I think caps are a great idea, the private sector is just as corrupt or even more so, government wages are up for a reason and more government is what is needed as messed up as that sounds

example you will hardly ever see a large company centered itself in a small town or rural areas at least not where I’m at, even though they can employ and help a whole community and the surrounding towns, get most people off government handouts, take the stress of congested areas out of people’s lives, but no its a rat race to the short end you can only care so much

6 comments only four visible seems like we all have something to hide

Michael Scott is my hero. The state of P.A. owes this man so much. They say that behind every man is a greater woman. Jan is a great woman. He is an equal op employer, just look at who he has working for him. Shame on you for degrading such a great man and the company he works for. The man almost jumped off his own office building to prove a point to his employees. He ran in a charity for a rabies cause. I hope to work for this great man someday, and when I do, I will surely bring this slander to his attention !!!!!!!!!!!

I agree with the weakonomist. CEO’s are currently receiving multiples in all phases of compensation instead of percentages of what they should earn. I do not believe that this issue can ever be resolved however.

I’ve written quite a bit about the issues of CEO compensation. Without linking back to the orginal post on my site, I can say this is pretty much what I’ve come up with:

CEO pay should be tied to the lowest of the low level employees. A 5% raise would require the entire company to get a 5% raise.

As for bonuses, they should be a percentage of salary, not a multiple.

Stock options and awards are perfectly appropriate at this time but should represent no more than 100% of the salary the CEO is earning at that time.

Being a CEO is like being a president of the US. You do it mostly out of love for what you do and who you serve, not for how much money you make.
