American CEO's make salaries out of line with the rest of the world. (2 to 3 times more than Japanese or German, forget Chinese). Why is it, that is rarely mentioned?

GM

Number of CEOs --> 1

Number of employees --> 317,000

You do the math.

"GM

The CEO counts as an employee, 316,999.
I'm sure you're a bright person, not sure why you'd make such an ignorant post?
First of all, your post would lead one to believe there's one "king" making $12 million, and 316,999 factory workers.
Do you think that maybe there are VPs? Directors? Managers? Do you think any of these folks are compensated in a manner commensurate with the CEO? Or do they pay the VPs $80k a year?
Do you think there are assistants, and assistant to the assistants that have no real function?

Given GM's management, they could move their operations to China tomorrow and I'd wager they still lose money. Lousy design, lousy business practices will continue, that's dictated from the top.

A little math for you:

GMU offers more than 1900 courses to GM’s 86,000 managerial, executive, professional and technical employees

That's from GM's Careers website. 86,000 non-union employees. Not all make $12 million, but that reduces the number in the union to 231,000.

A huge number to be sure, but I think that puts it more in focus.
