Class warfare!
So I reckon she figures she’s too good to make me a sandwich?
I’ve heard the bonus comes from work with some of the directors on the table in the board room
Iron my Volt!
I’ve had my last GM for a while. The last 3 vehicles I’ve had all seem to suffer from chronic issues. Not a lot of issues but the same ones over and over again. I currently have an Aveo and it’s been reliable but is just put together cheap. I know it is a low end low expense car but still. Thinking of trying Ford or Nissan next. I hear good things about both.
They were howling about this on Facebook over the weekend because not all of Barra’s compensation had been board-approved and at that point it looked as if she were going to be making a lot less than her predecessor.
But the “reporting” in Yahoo.com was slanted to make the easy gender pay inequity argument. It wasn’t until you got to the end of the article that you got the little nugget about the remainder of her compensation requiring “board approval”.
Frankly, I’m surprised the the Obama Administration is permitting this... weren’t they the one’s who were all up-in-arms about executive pay? They have leverage with GM and here Bara is going to be hauling down Peyton Manning like numbers?
Isn’t Marxism wonderful?
$14.4 million? That’s almost as much as some of the UAW thugs!
DAMN that glass ceiling....oh, wait....
0bama’s Government Motors; helping the 1% help itself.
The job should come with an honorary title, like commissar...
My bet is that they will be back in bankruptcy within 5 years. She had best run to the bank with those checks and cash in the stock as soon as possible.
Of course, GM (Government Motors) will probably spin that in the direction of the preferred, demanded and executed fascism that we have going on in this country.
Man, she smashed through that ‘glass ceiling’ as if it were standing still.
Wait... What’s all this stuff about “Corporate Greed”???
Over-earning CEO’s???
I thought these are the folks who are stealing from the little guys! The minorities!!!
Shouldn’t we burn her???
I’m so confused...
Don’t think that the former CEO did not have a long term comp plan as well. The 10 mil is not yearly salary, it is the kind of things execs get when they stick around for whatever period of time specified in the long term comp plan agreement. A one time payment when she leaves after having stayed long enough for the plan to kick in.
This article is intentionally misleading.
Hey did you hear that? Sounds like a glass ceiling shattering!
Actually, I think this is the rebuttal to an earlier story that drove the meme that she was being paid less than her male predecessor. I guess the facts are getting in the way, now.
