Many moons ago the corporations were being attacked for the high salaries of CEOs saying that the compensation wasn't deserved. The answer was to move more compensation to stock options which actually increased the average salary. Smart move by the corporations because the compensation did not require a cash outlay. Many CEOs got stock options at a very low option price after the sever decline in the market just before Obama took office. When the market recovered the CEOs reaped a large reward.
