Exclusive-FedEx faces labor union challenge over billionaire CEO's pay - Yahoo

FedEx Corp shareholders should reject founder and CEO Fred S's $54 million pay package because the logistics company gave him stock options after scrapping a cash bonus in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, only to reinstate it later, the Teamsters labor union said on Friday.

Smith, whose net worth is pegged by Forbes at $5.8 billion, was given a special option award "for motivation and retention purposes" in June 2020 after FedEx canceled a $3.4 million cash bonus for him, citing uncertainty around the COVID-19 pandemic.

Those options were worth $6.4 million as of the end of May, the close of FedEx's fiscal year, more than doubling in value since Smith received them. As more people shipped and received items during the pandemic and FedEx's business rebounded, the Memphis, Tennessee-based company reinstated Smith's $3.4 million cash bonus in December, but also allowed him to keep the special stock options.

Every company is a pyramid scheme...

Some just have a better idea.

The government is also a pyramid scheme. More specifically, Social Security. We keep hearing about how it's going to run out of money just in time as many of us will be retiring. However, you never hear about welfare running out of money. I guess they know all these 65 year old folks aren't going to burn down cities if they don't get their money.

And on a far more expensive note, you never hear about the military running out of money ...
