This year, Wagoner will pull down a salary of $2.2 million, in addition to other CEO perks. And last year, Wagoner's total compensation was $14.4 million. That works out to $39,452.05 per day, including weekends. (Note that in 2007, GM lost a staggering $38.7 billion).....
For example, the estimated pay of Toyota's CEO in 2005 was under $1 million.

What's this?

Who's leading the conversation?

This visualization below allows you to see the impact that each user has on the current conversation. The top row contains the group of users who have had the most impact, the 2nd row the group of users who have had the 2nd most impact (et cetera). Users with similar impact are grouped together, and the average score of the group is shown to the left of the group. The author of the article is also shown on the left, in their corresponding group. Each user's score is based on the number of comments the user has made plus the number of votes their comments have received. The scores are calculated relative one another, so while their absolute value is not particularly important, their relative difference does indicate a larger difference in impact on the conversation.

You hear a lot of talk especially from the right.. i was the greed of the workers and the unions that killed gm.
But if the ceo is making 14 times what the ceo of Toyota makes.. shouldn't their employees make more as well?

perhaps if the ceo made less.. the company would have a stronger position against the unions.

the guy got paid 14 million when his company lost 38 billion. I mean come on this is sick

once turkeys like Bill Gates started making money by the Billions, all the other CEO's started thinking they had to make much more, Microsoft's stuff ( full of virus-prone problems) isn't any better than GM or Ford - barely marginal quality with ridiculous prices. They think you should have to pay every 2-3 years for a word processor that is no improvement over the old version, just different. Actually my GM car gets good gas mileage ( 27 in town) and is 18 years old, but it is an exception ( quad 4 in a medium size car) .

Merci

According to 2008 data from Forbes, Ford's Mulally ranks 153rd in US CEO pay with $12 million.

Wagoner Jr. of GM ranks 433rd with $2.05 million.

On the other hand, there is no Annual Compensation data, no Stock Options data and no Total Compensation data available for Toyota's Katsuaki Watanabe. Therefore, anyone attempting to compare the salaries is doing so on conjecture and/or using defective data.
