Highest-paid CEOs run worst-performing companies, research finds

Padawanbater2 · Jul 27, 2016

The highest-paid CEOs tend to run some of the worst-performing companies, according to new research.

The study, carried out by corporate research firm MSCI, found that for every $100 (£76) invested in companies with the highest-paid CEOs would have grown to $265 (£202) over 10 years.

But the same amount invested in the companies with the lowest-paid CEOs would have grown to $367 (£279) over a decade.

Full story here

Wait a minute.. Don't conservatives repeatedly tell us that excessive CEO pay buys results? More return for the investors?

It naturally follows that we should cut politicians pay so their performance goes up!!!

I vote for a 70% cut in pay across the board!!!

More pay ins't a motivating factor of higher level performance. Just means they can buy more shit when they get off work.

Probably why McDonalds is replacing as many employees as possible with machines to avoid the backlash of a 15 dollar minimum wage...

$1.7 Billion per year!

That's $195,000 per hour, 24 hours per day, 365 days per year.

And most of these hedge funds did really poorly too.

Why? Your own topic says this to be true. Why wouldn't it be true on the bottom end as well?

Just paid a guy 80 bucks to weed the parking lot and back lot. Guy did a piss poor job, spent 6 hours doing what usually takes me about 90 minutes, on top of bitching about the heat. 80 bucks for a 90 min job is a hell of a rate, yet I got shit for results.

That says more about your judgment than it does about anything else. I know if I paid a guy $80 for a couple hours worth of work, I wouldn't be complaining about the quality

I will never get over the previous CEO of Home Depot. Home Depot was huge and buildings going up all over the place and making money hand over fist. Then they hire this CEO that turns it into a nose dive. Within a couple of years Home Depot was horrible, so they fire this CEO and give him a 325 million dollar severance.

How did they justify that bullshit?

Makes zero difference. Even if the company goes belly up, the CEO still gets a golden parachute and lands in a soft pillow of cash. Why? Because he's on the boards of the same people who are on his board, and they all happily collude on each other's salaries forever after!

Great gig if you can sucker people into hiring your cronies onto their boards.

Who loses? Only those poor sods down there on the shop floor who actually did the work to build the company. They get the shaft every time! But you know- they're losers. The Chump said so.
