What the (bleep)? Boeing CEO’s 2008 pay was $14.8 million!
Our economy is crashing all around us. These days everyone is either closing their doors or handing out pink slips. Hardworking people are losing jobs, homes, health care, etc., yet big executives continue to live the high life. Poor, poor Boeing chief executive only received a $1.5 million cash bonus this year (on top of all his other compensation). Whatever will he do? Some of us will not make that in our lifetime; however, we seem to make it through life just fine.
It just sickens me that we continue to pay top executives, movie stars and athletes ridiculous salaries when so many people can barely make ends meet. No job (no matter the amount of experience or education) should be paying one person such an amount. When did we agree to allow such greedy people to be role models in our society?
