Just yesterday the CBC was talking about how the average CEO in Canada made $70,000 CDN by 5pm on January 2nd for 1 day of work while the average worker makes approx. $35,000 CDN per year. They also talked about corporate governance since it's not just the CEO approving their own salaries, and in Bob's case above serverance packages. Are boards, management groups, or whatever else actually looking out for the company and its investors when they approve such amounts? Interesting to read this today.
