I really don't care what other people make. I can only figure out my own situation: if they pay me enough to do a job, I will do it; if they don't, I will not.

What the CEO gets paid is so much rumor to me. I don't care. I think he's a good one. The previous one, from what I hear, nearly killed the company. I'll go ahead and guess this one is worth more. I hope he is paid more. It's worth it if he improves the company.

As tw notes, he is responsible for 85% of any problem that comes up. So his actions and decisions will affect many more people than mine. In fact he has the ability to grow a $10M company (that's a guess) into a $20M company. If he can do that, I think he should be paid a great deal. Of course a smart board would do that with bonuses and would avoid an incentive package that grants the CEO any kind of golden parachute, unless he's hired specifically to manage a downcycle or something.
