$378 million are you kidding me...

I recently found out the Fruit company CEO was paid $378 million last year...
Man I really hope he can scape by on that..Perhaps they could have paid him a $1M less and he could have forgone the gold plated option on his new Bentley...
Why do they get paid so much...I guess its not really about what they do for the money..did they earn it..or are they worth it or heavens to Betsy they might leave the company..no they get paid so much for the same reason a dog licks his genitals..because he can..they get paid so much because they can...The CEO is the only position in the entire company whose pay is determined by people they control...the board of directors. So this is why CEO's get paid 300 times the average workers salary while 20 years ago they were paid 30 times and average workers salary..So lets do ourselves a favor..Everyone buy 1 share of Fruit company stock..We are going to have to spend $600 a piece for that precious stuff and vote no at the shareholders meeting when they ask us to approve the executive compensation. I propose we allow the CEO's to be paid $1 million a year and they can figure out how to scrape by on that....
I got this e-mail the other day...thought it was ironic

I really need some sort of device that allows me to easily check my email from anywhere so I don't end up out of touch....

Well at least everyone is not completely obsessed with all the features....
