[QUOTE="brett636, post: 857280, member: 249"] CEOs are worth whatever the free market is willing to pay them. It's something akin to sports stars as they are paid huge sums of money because they are in a small group of people in the world with those skills. CEOs have a different skill set which affords them the jobs they hold. I could care less what they are paid so long as they make sound decisions steering the ship they have control of keeping me employed. Besides, if you did the math you would realize that most CEOs get paid a small sum when compared to the wealth of the company as a whole. I remember figuring that if Walmart paid its CEO nothing and spread his current salary among all current employees it wouldn't amout to a gallon of gas per employee per week. It's not what the CEO is paid so much as its how much the company grows under his or her control. If I found myself in your shoes I would quit and go elsewhere if I believed I was worth more then I was paid. FedEx isn't the only game in town, and you have already admitted to turning down an opportunity to make more. I have always considered saving for retirement to be my responsibility and nobody else's. By the time I learned about the pension being canceled I would have positioned myself so that its impact was minimal if not negligible. Your retirment is your responsibility PERIOD. [/QUOTE]
