Of course they are talented people and they should be paid well at the highest level of the corporation. But NOT 400 times the average worker. I've long held that shareholders should have a vote on what the CEO gets paid. We own the company, not the directors whom we've hired, nor the CEO. http://www.springboardblog.blogspot.com On average CEOs are paid about 400 times that of the regular worker, and that’s where I find my trouble with the whole issue of CEO compensation.
