Obesity Epidemic Among CEO Pay - Business on The Huffington Post

Eve Tahmincioglu: Obesity Epidemic Among CEO Pay - Business on The Huffington Post:
"Stanley O'Neal who is leaving Merrill Lynch after giving it a big fat gift of a $8 billion dollar write-off thanks to risky investments. The board just can't help but feed this obesity epidemic. They're giving him $160 million plus in severance for his troubles as he heads for the door. At some point, the nation's corporations, or most pointedly, their corporate boards, will realize throwing money at their CEOs is probably not the best idea"

CEO pay is perennially a hot topic. Since we will be doing in class soon, figured this would be a good time to start thinking about it.
