[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I work for a Fortune 500 and you couldn’t pay me enough to be CEO.  Their entire life and that of their family is completely dominated by work.  To get to that level you are wholly owned by the company.  If they want to live that life go for it.  They should be compensated.  And the pp who said it is mostly stock is correct.

I completely agree. I’m in senior level management and feel like my life revolves around work- but it is absolutely nothing compared to what my CEO deals with. He deserves whatever he is paid to handle the crap he handles [/quote]

This just sounds so out-of-touch with lower income families where parents work several jobs just to make ends meet.  A Fortune 500 CEO can quit at 40 and his grand kids can still be set with all the dividends. [/quote]

I’m the first poster.

There aren’t that many Fortune 500 CEOs who are 40.  It’s a job you get after years of being completely dedicated to your industry.

Look, I get it, it’s a ton of money.  That said, I much prefer the childhood I had with a dad as a teacher and a stay at home mom than the life our CEO and other members of our executive team live.  They move, often internationally, every couple of years, miss birthdays, concerts, first dates.  You name it, they aren’t present.  Their spouses frequently have to give us their jobs due to the frequent moves.  Divorce rate is high.  It’s an impossible life if you want to have any balance.

If you are interested in that type of money start playing the game.  The office and airports will be your new home and you’ll have a constant knot in your stomach from all the stress.[/quote]
