It's called capitalism. Running complex multi-billion dollar corporations takes years of education, work experience, and guts.

If workers want to earn fat pensions then they should become more motivated instead of producing widgets for 30 years.

This isn't about capitalism. It's about pension funds. P-E-N-S-I-O-N F-U-N-D-S.

If the workers want to make widgets, fine. If they wish to do something more with their lives, that's also fine. But the motivation of the workers is not what this article's about.

You forgot government bailouts when these brilliant execs screw up.

In this statement lies the problem...if all us un-motivated workers didn't produce the widgets, there would be no bloated pensions. You think that because some moron has an MBA from Harvard (and I know two individuals who fit this bill!), he/she deserves a 100 million kiss when they leave a company? Please...

If the executive make bad decisions or loots the company, they still walk away with loads.

Isn't it because a company makes the widgets that allows the CEO to have a job. Too many times we see boards that make decisions that benefit the executives and not the shareholders or the company.
