If I'm putting up dry wall and I bring in six new jobs to the guy I work for, then I expect to be compensated for my trouble. If I'm a CEO and I add a couple hundred million in value to the company, then the board better pay up.
Sure. The trouble is that when that 40 million dollar CEO does something stupid which costs the company hundreds of millions they still want paid big money. If people want big money they should be willing to shoulder a little risk.
CEOs are fired all the time for costing the company money. The thing is, we rarely hear about them. Usually it's announced as a retirement.
True; but just HOW does he DO this????
