So, he practically says that being a CEO is trivial and mechanical.
How does that justify the insane pay then?
Like the other person said, its never justified, its just they run the company so who can really tell them otherwise.
Shareholders maybe? but they won't rock the boat.
It's never justified. They see they can get away with it, and so they do.
Because they are the fall guy when the company does something illegal (like most of them do all the time) and get caught.
The real perps (shareholders) get away scot-free by claiming they didn't know it was happening.
The board and directors, not shareholders. Most companies have non-voting shareholders. Unless it's Blackrock or their ilk, because they have significant influence even without voting rights.
