......if you aren't a stockholder, it's not your question to ask. If you are, tell the board what you think the CEO is worth.

Any other complaints are just paycheck envy.

The thing is, almost everyone is a stockholder. Not directly, but by way of mutual fund or pension fund holdings.

You don't have to have a proxy to vote to have an interest in seeing that a company your pension fund owns stock in doesn't act against your interests by providing massive stock options and a golden parachute deal to a CEO who's taking the value of the company down (or for that to matter to worry about the incentive structure provided by such perverse arrangements even to a good CEO).
