Directors 'earn 120 times more than average employee'

[ZARDOZ]

The Average CEO of a large public or private organisation is probably no more than a glorified salesman. Usually have less understanding of how the business works than the next couple of tiers of management bellow them, sometimes shockingly so. Most come in, re-organise to some structure that was decided ineffective several years ago, sack a few people and leave having raised the share price but fecked the company in some way. If there were some good ideas, they were probably someone else's.
Are they worth it, probably not but there has to be someone to 'look up to'.

I had a Twitter discussion with a Socialist type the other day - his first argument was that workers should share in the profitability of the company as they had contributed to its success - he then went on to decry bankers' bonuses so apparently the ideal is for everyone to benefit from success but not so much that people will get envious

A bonus that is directly tied to profit, or better still growth, is different from one you get paid even as the company collapses around you.

It's OK it must be tough trying to find Paul Flowers a new position.

I can play Stairway to Heaven on guitar so how come Jimmy Page has more money than me?

I think you'll find that has something to do with "Jimmy Page actually playing Stairway to Heaven..."

Oh That and having quite a bit to do with writing it as well!!
