You're going from one extreme to the other.

I AGREE that you have to pay a CEO a "decent" wage. $81K isn't realistic.

But, I also don't think it's right to automatically give a guy a "golden parachute" that guarantees that he'll leave with 10's or 100's of millions regardless of how well the company has done during his tenure.

It's NOT so easy for the shareholders to get together and "force" the BOD of a company to do much of anything.

I think MOST of the shareholders of Yahoo would have liked to see the buyout by Microsoft go through, but they really didn't have a lot of say in the matter.
