Warren Buffett - Absurd CEO Salaries


For the latest Warren Buffett, go to WarrenBuffettNews.com - CEO pay got out of control because you had an unbalanced set of incentives. The CEOs are highly interested in increasing their salary, and it is given by a compensation committee that meets once per year for 15 minutes. As CEO compensation rises across the board, they use that as a bargaining tool and so the salary continues to get ratcheted up. No company wants to be in the bottom quartile as far as CEO pay goes either. Buffett's CEOs are satisfied because they know that right or wrong, he is looking at things as an objective owner. His CEOs have poured their lives into their businesses and they love it. They don't want to deal with Wall Street or lawyers, so Buffett relieves them of that burden. Buffett is creating his own painting, but he wants the founders and managers to have the ability to create their own painting within their own company as well.

Keynote Address on Executive Compensation


Full Speech, Ranking Member Elijah Cummings on Executive Compensation. Read the speech here: democrats.oversight.house.gov Over the past three Congresses, Cummings has been a nationally recognized leader investigating excessive corporate salaries, bonuses, stock options, and other compensation. As a Member of the Oversight Committee, he has investigated unwarranted bonuses for AIG executives, conflicts of interest with compensation consultants, the disconnect between corporate pay and company performance, and the widening gap between the ultra-rich and middle-class American workers. Cummings has also fought legislatively to create "claw-back" provisions and limit compensation levels at corporations that received taxpayer support, including Goldman Sachs. Cummings introduced HR 3436, the TARP Executive Disclosure Act, which would have required the CEO and Board Chairman of any company that receives more than $30 billion in cumulative government assistance to file the same financial disclosure reports that Cabinet secretaries file. Since becoming the Committee's Ranking Member earlier this year, Cummings has continued this fight. In August, he called on Committee Chairman Darrell Issa to hold hearings on executive compensation after a report revealed that 25 of the top 100 CEOs received more in compensation last year than their company paid in 2010 federal income taxes. Last month, Cummings led the charge to investigate the compensation of executives at Fannie Mae and <b>...</b>

VeriGreedy Verizon Shareholder Meeting


Verizon continues to demand over $1 billion per year in concessions from workers while demanding another $1 billion a year from consumers in new upgrade phone fees. Verizon CEO Lowell McAdam recently had his salary tripled from $7.2 million to $23.1 million A YEAR. Although executive compensation is soaring, 45000 hard working Verizon employees are still without a contract after 8 months of bargaining. Knowing that Verizon workers, students and community allies value respect on the job, Verizon moved their shareholder meeting to Huntsville, AL to avoid the working class power it fears. Despite this, over 500 unionists, students, JwJ folks and faith leaders converged in Huntsville, AL.

Warren Buffett - How Should a CEO Be Compensated?


For the latest Warren Buffett, go to WarrenBuffettNews.com - Berkshire has about 70 CEOs that he has to manage. How does he keep them motivated and in sync with his interests? The best thing to do is to work with people who are already 95% of the way there. He makes the sole compensation decision. In his career, he has never had anyone leave him to go work for a competitor. He doesn't believe in making earnings projections. If you do that, then people will tend to cheat. There are businesses that are capital intensive, and there are businesses in which capital doesn't matter. There are different compensation packages based on the different economics involved with the different businesses. One thing that Buffett never does is to move the target around year by year.

The seven companies are Bank of America Corp., American International Group Inc., Citigroup Inc., General Motors, GMAC, Chrysler and Chrysler Financial.
