The Juice: A Little Something Extra for your morning

« Not strong enough to steer clear of restrictions | Main | No more Apple leaks here »

CEOs: Yep, we do make too much.

Jobs

A lot people think CEOs are overpaid. Even CEOs. A new poll from Bnet.com finds that 64 percent of top executives view compensation as excessive. That compares to 77 percent of all employees.
The poll didn't ask whether the CEOs would take a pay cut, though.

Clayton Hamburg:

Perhaps a Not-For-Profit Organization that is built directly on the willing donations of overcompensated executives is in order. The funds would add up rather quickly if the Bnet.com poll is correct, the money could be used for any worthy cause, and it would be a great way for the shareholders in these companies to see exactly how much they are overpaying, which in turn would lead to a "repacking" of the "golden parachute. "
