    Why? What are they going to do instead? Is this another case of attracting the 'top talent'? They are nothing but a bunch of overrated chancers. If they want to go then let them, there are more than enough who could do the job(they could hardly perform worse) for a fraction of the salary. This is the principle that those at the lower end have to suffer so why not those who are getting megabucks?

    It's up to shareholders to address whether or not companies are overpaid. I agree with Thrug re remuneration committees etc, but bigger investors, pension funds etc, should definitely demand service commensurate with pay.

    Sarcasm is allegedly the lowest form of wit.
    It is also the funniest.:)
    It's getting harder & harder to keep the government in the manner to which they have become accustomed.
