This is simply not the case.

CEO's and the executives of major corps are hired on association. Often time these people are proven faliures but they "run in" the elite circle. (and it is a circle)

The trick is to break into this circle. It can be done two ways, the easy way, born into it and the hard way go to school, make friends with the kids "in the circle."
So the more abrasive CEOs could be known as circle jerks.

Companies don't like to look like they are taking that kind of risk, nor look like they are hiring someone that isn't up to doing the job. So, in order to get the big name, they have to pay stupid money.

A lot of companies aren't even basing raises for their employees on productivity and ability. A lot are giving a flat raise across the board. Not only can me and you see what's wrong with that, but I believe it causes a company to do even worse. The people that worked the hardest start backing off their productivity once they realize their hard work is getting them no where.

Really makes you wonder how these big CEO's can demand what they do, because it sure seems like their thinking is pretty flawed and they can't even see the simple...
Yeah, except in my experiences corruption creeps into incentive pay schemes as well. I know this because we have this type of system at work. I am corrupt and manipulative, so I get the best evals, but don't necessarily deserve them. If I'm doing it, others are too. That's real world, everything else is a fairytale.

No, actually I have a friend that's a bank CFO, and that's what he says it stands for.

Come to think about it.. most CFO's that I've known fit the modified acronym

I like my wife's approach, everytime she goes to pick up her grossly overpriced BP medication she loudly asks "Whose golden parachute am I paying for today?"
