"He's worth it”

Said the PR spin released on a late Friday afternoon.

They never release news like this on a Monday morning.

Staggs and Rasullo must be getting nervous.

I'm sure they're shaking in their $600 boots.

I'm getting an $11 a month raise this year. That's $.33 per day!

Got a 1% raise last year.They told me not to spend it all in one place but I needed a pack of gum.

And if he did a terrible job he would've been fired. What's the point? He Is on par with others media company CEOs.

Well that explains all those recent puff pieces in business magazines about what an amazing CEO he is, obviously they were buttering people up for the release of that news.

I get a 25 cent raise every 6 months with a bachelors. Yay!!

Does it really matter? Seriously? Does it affect your park experience? Does it affect you?

When Alan Mulally from Ford took a $1 a year paycheck, it didn't affect the price of the cars.
No matter what Iger makes, you are still going to pay what you pay at the parks.

CEOs make big money, in other news, the sun rose today.

Money is just paper with dead presidents on it.

No, but I'm also not successfully running a multinational media/entertainment conglomerate either.

I think you're judging the whole company by what you see in Orlando.

 

[NelsonRD]

Why is he not successful? Please enlighten. Is it because small world is still missing some ceiling tiles?

Sadly, this will probably be the argument. People here think The Walt Disney Company is just Walt Disney World.

If you read closer, his salary of 2.5 million didn't change. It's all the other things, the bonuses and stock that got him the 35% raise.

As @NelsonRD stated up the page, there are several CEO's that have a salary of $1 for the year and this is simply because they are compensated with bonuses and stock that they (for all intensive purposes) don't need a "salary" position.

Unfortunately, unless we return to the barter system, try paying your bills or going to WDW without the paper with dead presidents on it to back you up.

Well, Electronic Fund Transfer is just numbers on a screen that go up and down. What is this paper with dead presidents you speak of?

What is a raise? I haven't had a raise in my pension in the last twelve years. In fact, with increasing costs of health insurance, I'm now getting less each year.
CEO's get what they get whether WE think they were successful or not. If they are not successful they get fired and still make out like bandits. They move in a different universe than the average Joe. It is the way things are, so deal with it.
