Expose on Insider Loans
Ctimes2 writes "Everyone's been grousing a lot lately about high priced CEO's and compensation packages, in no small part due to the 'Enron incident'. Business2.0 has a lengthy but enjoyable feature about how corporate loans became 'compensation packages', forgivable, sometimes tax free the and norm for corporations. And Slashdot's favorite whipping boy Microsoft, while not leading the pack, certainly isn't the poster child for trustworthy finance. More importantly (or rather, to our eternal annoyance), the article provides some much needed information trolls can add to their 'CEO's are bad!' rants: "Insider lending added thrust to the long surge in executive pay that has pushed the average major-company CEO's compensation from 45 times that of the average worker in the early 1970s to about 500 times worker pay today.""
A new company, feeling it was time for a shake-up, hires a new CEO. This new boss is determined to rid he company of all slackers. On a tour of the facilities, the CEO notices a guy leaning on a wall. The room is full of workers and he thinks this is his chance to show everyone he means business!

The CEO, walks up the guy and asks - "and how much money do you make a week?"
Undaunted, the young fellow looks at him and replies, "I make $200.00 a week. Why?"
The CEO then hands the guy $200 in cash and screams - "here's a week's pay, now GET OUT and don't come back!" Feeling pretty good about his first firing, the CEO looks around the room and asks - "does anyone want to tell me what that slacker did here?"
With a sheepish grin, one of the other workers mutters - "That was the Pizza delivery guy".

"the average major-company CEO's compensation from 45 times that of the average worker in the early 1970s to about 500 times worker pay today"
But they are the main figureheads responsible for the astounding progress of our economy- they increase productivity, inspire workers, and set a shining example of moral clarity for all.
Oh wait...
Here's the difference:
:-)
If instead of of paying 1 CEO 500 million, you pay 5 CEOs 100 million each, they'll be too busy watching each other to screw up the company as much
Seriously, what exactly does the CEO do anyway that makes him worth so much? Why are these companies so interested in hiring and retaining certain CEOs?

In July, shortly before the measure was adopted, a Senate committee led by Ernest F. Hollings, Democrat of South Carolina, passed a $750.5 million appropriations measure for the commission...
Uh-oh. Isn't he one of the Slashdot Bad Guys (tm)? And if it's him against Bush and his administration, other Slashdot Bad Guys (tm)...
I don't know which side to take! It's like Dracula vs. the Wolfman!
No, wait, it's like a corrupt, money-driven Dracula vs. an embarassingly incompetent, bald-faced lying Wolfman! This one's going to break my brain!
After seeing what i've seen out there, I don't think it's fair that someone on an executive level can justify shutting down entire sattelite offices of their companies just so they can get a new house.
Fuck you, I hope you get herpes from the whores you bought with the company AMEX card for your "Business trip" We all know the house is because you're so dumb you let your wife see the AMEX reciepts and you had to appease her.Rot in hell bitch!
