Why do CEOs get paid such absurd amounts of money? It's not like there's a shortage of people who could do at least as good a job as them. Of course there are exceptional leaders like Jobs, CZ, or e.g. Jihan but generally speaking..

Their credentials are such that if the CEO fucks up, they can shoulder the blame, rather than the stockholders that fucked up by appointing said CEO.

CEOs are PR and salespeople, foremost.

Don’t change the subject you fuckwad, the question was why are CEOs paid so much, the answer is because they start or operate businesses that make a lot of money, thus they are paid a lot of money.
(You) aren’t willing to do that so (You) don’t get paid like it.

>> No.10736322

They get paid this much for loyalty
Ppl in such high positions can fuck the whole company up for a huge profit, using insider info, trading out corporate secrets and signing unprofitable contracts for cut backs.
Thats why you bribe this ppl into obedience with crazy high celery.

You have no idea how much it takes to run a large corporation succesfully. Top CEOs get paid a lot because if they can improve profits even just 1% (sometimes even less) they're worth the extra pay. There's no shortage of people who could do *almost* as good a job, but small differences are worth a ton for large companies. Try doing the math on how much eve just a 0,1% increasev in revenues would be worth for a company like Appe. Also, higher pay (especially performance based) incentivises a CEO to work harder.

Oh please enlighten me how paying a CEO 30 million per year has an impact on operating business. Would he put less effort into his work if he "only" earned 5 million?

Also what about exit bonuses, did the CEO of Lehman Brother deserve it? Or any fucking company the CEO gets sacked from

Bc if the CEOs took pay cuts and paid the workers more the company would have less leverage over the workers. You have to keep your workers in need. If you pay them above a certain threshold they might make enough to retire early before you’re through sucking the life out of them.

They should be paid at a maximum, a set multiplier of the median pay of their company's employees, say 20x or 30x. Income inequality is seriously destabilising society and the economy. It'll be delicious when the serfs slaughter these faggots ala French Revolution.
