CEO salaries
Ignoramus14968
thinking.
The argument that suggests that CEOs in public companies are
"overpaid" is based on visibly very high salaries, and the ssumption
that CEOs wield so much influence over boards and compensation
committees, that they are able to "negotiate" overly generous
compensations.
That assumption may or may not be true.
TO find out whether it is true is actually very easy. All one needs to
do is compare CEO salaries in public companies, with CEO salaries in
comparable non-public (privately owned) companies, where the owner is
not the CEO. Presumably, the private owners who hire CEOs negotiate
their salaries at "arm's length" and the private company CEO salary is
a good indicator of what is fair.
Since I am unlikely to have come up with such a simple comparison idea
first, some studies must have been done to this effect.
Is anyone aware of any such comparisons?

Iggy,
Being the president and CEO of Fraser Competition Engines LLC. All I can
entertain is I'll never be off road racing with Skilling, Hob-knobbing with
Mr. Gates in a Cessna Citation, Matter of fact my operating capital and
bonus ledger lines come from the change I shake loose from the cracks of my
couch. Funny thing going from being the vice president of a Chicago based
bank division to where I am today in my engine shops. I would have opted to
retain the corporate nipple to suckle from.
There is so much greed and corruption it pandemic to see and worse to
see nothing really being done until pensions are raided. Enter the FBI.
Frankly, I'm still happier with a tig torch and jeans than an Armani suit
and a bullshit TPS report and swingline stapler.
My comparison off topic, off color but you know I'm not all there
anyhow. Take a look at January's Crain's Chicago. Your point is addressed
rather well in an article there in.

True..it is off topic but he can preface the title with a big OT and
anyone who has no interest can move on to the next posting.
It is a timely topic that will gather great interest as this Country
slides into a significant recession.

slides into a significant recession.**
I'm down 30% from last year- a lot of my clients are Union craftstsmen and
construction guys who raced for fun. I know a lot of them who have not had
work in months, sold off all the toys and some are losing the house as well.
Hold on kids this is gonna be a hell of a ride! TMT is right..

Start a "sliding into recession" NG and leave this one to metalworking,
please.
If your reasoning pervades, then maybe ALL NG's should combine into one
on the theory that there's always somebody who might be interested in
whatever someone else might have to say on any subject.

As more and more people see their lifestyles decline and say goodbye to a
lot of their hard earned possessions, the fact that CEOs are getting paid
millions even when running companies into the ground can't help but become a
more salient topic for discussion. After all, who cares how much the CEO
gets when you have a good job and are getting what to you seems like good
pay? See everything you worked for go down the drain and it's a bit harder
to silently accept the head honcho walking away with hundreds of millions.
So it's relevant to lots of people when things are bad for them but the
people on top still feel no pain. Also, continual discussion of the same or
similar metalworking topics becomes boring after some period of time.
Between the two there's good reason to discuss other topics. What's
irritating though is to hear people complaining about off topic subjects and
then see them posting on said subjects. If you don't like off topic subjects
then butt the hell out and quit whining about them.

You are right...recipes have their place...I would preface them with a

How does one prepare CEOs? I would assume that that there would be
plenty of fat and crap to trim off before cooking and then they would
taste like chicken while giving one plenty of gas.

Good for you. My dad has been in the hospital for two weeks
tomorrow, where they had to remove about half of his colon, due to two
cancerous growths. They still haven't said when he can go home.

It is not exactly homemade. It is a modified commercial welder with a
bunch of new guts, microcontroller, etc. It works fine. The fan was
noisy, so I replaced it with a Comair Rotron Caravel.
It takes a lot of space, though.

My question is -- when C.E.O.s have finally succeeded in laying off
the entire North American economy, forcing everyone to become a McJob
holding Wal-Mart wage slave, who the hell will be able to afford your
products? Are former Ford employees going to buy Fords? Are Hewlett-
Packard employees who have been screwed around by HP going to buy HP
products? Are people with no jobs, or poverty-level waged jobs, going
to be able to afford anything?

A decent pig roaster thread would be great atm. I looked at one where those

Gunner I think you just made a Faux pas, when speaking of Herr Mueller you

You need to start your own foundation. It should be called "The Poor in
Defense of the Rich". Since every time someone comments negatively about
business, CEOs, or the wealthy you come instantly to their defense, and you
criticize American workers who belong to unions constantly you could be a
spokesman for the aristocracy. But then they wouldn't have anything to do
with someone in the lower class like you. What a catch-22 for you. You
defend the rich but they have nothing but contempt for you. That's a shame.
You should identify with ordinary working people but then if they are in a
union you have as much contempt for them as an aristocrat does. You're in a
pickle. Somebody needs to break it to you that you aren't one of the
aristocrats. Oh wait, I just did. You're working class, probably working
poor. Wise up, you idiot.

You constantly position everything as an "us-versus-them" situation. That's
a typical liberal democrat point of view.
Typical union stance that completely overlooks the Constitutional precept
that "....all men are created equal."
There is no class system in the USA - despite what Hillary, Barrack, and
their ilk say about "middle class."
Now, if you spent a few more hours working hard - or working at all - and a
few less hours wasting your time complaining about "them" in Internet news
groups, you just might pick yourself up by your bootstraps and make
something of yourself.
I doubt that there are many CEOs spending their time here in pissing
contests.

Wake up yourself. I was never poor. I owned a home I paid all my
bills on time. I had what I wanted, and had some money in the bank.
It's you who is so terrified of being poor that you need a union to
think for your. I scraped up $50 in the '60s and started a business
while I was still in high school. I made enough money to always be able
to help others, in need.
As far as starting a foundation, you need one, "Pathetic losers who
afraid to think and are damn proud of it!" for idiots like you that see
no shades of gray. You are so blinded by your ignorance and hatred to
everything around that you have no clue how the real world works
