SpiderByte Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 Interesting tidbit from the Peltz drama is that apparently Brian Chapek got rehired at Marvel sometime last summer after his dad got ousted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dudalb Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 (edited) I think CEO pay should be directly linked to how a company does as a whol; his pay should come from a share in the profits. Compnay does well, the CEO does well, the compnay does not do so well, the CEO does not do well. Edited January 17 by dudalb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cannastop Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 I was discussing Turning Red on the AMC A List discord... Someone called TR the least liked of the three movies...

Most CEO pay comes in the form of stock grants, which reward raising the share price in the past, or options, which reward raising the stock price in the future. Changing that to pay based directly on profits would have negative effects on their running of the company. People already complain about CEOs being too short-term focused (despite a large chunk of their compensation being based on stock options) and tying their pay to current profitability would make that worse. Long term investments by a company reduce current profitability so, under your proposal, would directly reduce CEO pay which would greatly disincentivize investment. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean sure it's completely outrageous about much Iger made but it's not like he wrote $30 million on a literal blank check. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe, but I still think Some CEO'S are vastly overpaid. For CEO's of companies that are not doing very well to get the kind of money they are getting is just plain silly. Maybe straight share of profits is not the way to gok but I want to see CEO compensation tied, in some way, to how well the company does.

I might be confusing it with the one about Peltz's firm wanting to be involved and not with Trian, but I definitely remember one from 2022.
