“How to Have Your Say On Outrageous CEO Pay ...-OR-...
You could mind your own business..”

If you own stocks... in many cases it IS your business.

Do you think the HP stock holders would have liked to have had a say on what Carly Fiorina made for trashing their stock value?

The stockholders hired him and are responsible for his actions.. else "they" would/should fire him..

The stockholders in America hired an in your face Marxist as President..
They need to fire him -OR- allow him to loot and dismantle a profitable business..

I would ask those shareholders if they took the time to weigh in on the board of directors. CEO pay and compensation is up to the board.

Did you READ the article???!!!

“There are only three constituents that have a dog in the fight over pay for any given CEO, and that is the customers, employees, and shareholders of said corporation. “

The problem with that idea is that stock price is 75% market/emotion and 25% company specific numbers.

Profit means it goes up, loss means it goes down, in general, but if you’re in a bad “sector” or the market as a whole is bad, sometimes there isn’t much you can do.
