I don’t know which side of the fence you sit on when it comes to CEO’s compensation levels. I happen to think most CEO’s are overpaid. Throw as many arrows as you’d like at me but I think a lot of CEO’s could learn a lot from Costco CEO Jim Sinegal. He makes a very good living but he also “get’s it”.
Anyway, Business Insider has a post about Balmer’s compensation package. How noble of him to forgo the compensation committee’s recommendation that he receive higher compensation. I think the billions he’s made off Microsoft so far probably cover his every day living expenses……
