Mulally's 2014 Compensation package included a new Taurus


Recommended Posts

If he asked, he would get it. I think Bill or Mark would be happy to oblige.

Ford's top executives would probably obtain an Aston Martin Rapide S for Mr. Mullally if he asked for one.

 

Doesn't Ford still have a small equity stake in Aston Martin Lagonda Limited? ;)

$220 million over 8 years and he can't buy his own car?

 

Completely out of touch.

Give it a rest.

 

We get it, you feel like Mulally made too much money. Yes he will make more in his last year as CEO than most of us will earn in our lifetimes. So what? He's doing a job, and getting paid what the company felt he was worth. Same as you. Same as me.

 

You don't like when people talk about what factory workers make, especially when people say "you" make too much to "tighten lug nuts". It's the same ridiculous generalization that you are making about the CEO position. It's not for us to judge what you make, just like it's not our place to judge what a company chooses to pay its other employees.

 

Remember you and the CEO are both EMPLOYEES of the same company.

 

Ps I hope you get a raise come negotiating time (hoping I get one as well) :).

It's called competition in a free job market. As the CEO of a successful corporation you are in high demand from other companies wanting to hire you, so that drives up the market rates. Just like free agents in the NFL. If you aren't willing to pay market rates for talent the talent goes elsewhere. That market is completely different in other countries like Japan.

 

Skilled auto factory workers are in demand especially over other similar occupations but the supply is also high. You have to look at each job in relation to the prevailing market conditions.

Lets also not forget the fact that he more or less fixed the company, unlike some CEO's who work some place and 6-18 months later are collecting a golden parachute making millions just for showing up and the company is still jacked up.

 

Precisely! How many people would have been out of work had Mulally not shown up and saved the day. Are there other CEOs out there that could have done the same? I'm sure there are, but ya ain't gonna hire them for a line worker's salary, or even 10x that.
