There are 2.1 million Walmart employees. If they work on average 1219 hours a year the CEO could forego his compensation so all other Walmart employees could make an extra penny an hour.

That's not even close to what I thought he was making. I figured double that much.

That said, I wonder if he's been worth that salary to the company?

I assume that there is some logical reason a CEO should give away 100% of his salary?

Because some, like Carly Fiorina, run companies into the ground, and then walk away with fat golden parachutes.

Why does anyone care about how much a burger flipper makes? Huh? How about THAT!

The point is it would make little difference to Walmart employees if he did. One 12 pack of cheap beer a year would be it.

His compensation is determined by the labor market, just like the employees. It just so happens that there is more demand for an executive than a stocker.

Just when I think posts couldn't get any more ridiculous.

Liberals care. They think they are owed CEOs salary.

So! He is there for the stock holders and they are OK with his income. Do the employees need a job or not? I'm sure they have a choice/ the liberty to go work elsewhere. Remember, the economy is booming!
