No one said the company wasn't doing well. I'm just wondering if you are a shareholder or are familiar with any of the voting last year? He didn't get the raise because of steering the company out of hard times. Ha everyone was down and most companies rebounded with better stock points. One thing I've learned in trading is that stock price does not equal what a company is truly made of.
Bob was given the power to award himself and other coporate managers(btw are from Starbucks and other similar companies that have no idea how to run a company with a creative side) by no other than the stockholders. Which I admit most of them didn't know what the were voting for at the time. Only afterwards were they scratching their heads.
So the past 6 years what has Bob really accomplished to be paid more than other Disney CEO per year?
Repaired the pixar relationship? Maybe
Bought marvel? K good move but nothing creatively groundbreaking(yes marvel is but buying other companies)
Dca revamp? It was bound to happen. It had too
I personally do not believe he is worth the money. He's more like continuing off where Eisner left off than having his own vision. What Disney really needs for the long haul..
Yes I am a shareholder and I also know about how the stock market works as I trade heavily in it. Stock prices is more determined on emotion than on actual value and performance of the company. But at the same time Disney stock has performed better than most other stocks that make up the S&P 500 or DJI.
And I do believe that the last 2 or 3 years has warrented Iger being classified as a good CEO. It takes time to change the course from a previous leader and it isn't something that you can do overnight, you have to earn the respect and loyalty of your thousands of employess. It seems to have taken Iger 3 or 4 years to be able to start undoing some of the trends that we complain about so much on here. I'm sure you recognize that Eisner wasn't exactly praised when he left his position...so i'm not sure where you are thinking he is just following Eisner's vision.
