I'm not sure high executive compensation makes a great deal of
difference to the bottom line ... however ...

That's a bit cruel ... think of the plants they're helping to keep alive
with the CO2 they're breathing out. I remember when my previous boss was

his hand in. He once said his main purpose as a manager was to stop
other managers wasting our time.
