“Countrywide Financial” - now there’s a bitterly ironic title.
Sorry, mean to say the MARKET does work sometimes. Incidentally, in 2008 it was still the highest salary in the industry, although Goldman Sachs was right up there with its top 3 executives all with salaries above $65 million. This lead the stockholders to vote that spring for a “stockholder advisory on executive compensation.” This is the best way to deal with overpaid executives. Engage the stockholders’ concern for self preservation.
So true...houses for everyone, all across the fruited plains, compliments of you and I.
