多年以來
CEO自肥一直是個很嚴重問題
最近 因為公司們被要求公開一些以前不曾需要公開的資訊
所以當很多看似清廉的公司
現在成為被大眾討伐的對象
不過
我覺得最誇張的是
當這些卸任CEO年老往生了以後
公司還會付一大筆錢給這些人的後代享用
所以
自肥果然是全球現象
絕對不是只有特定的區域而已~~

Millions Paid to Dead CEOs: Outrage Over ’Golden Coffins’

If you think "golden parachutes" for CEOs are scandalous, then brace yourself for the latest outrage: "golden coffins."
Yes, that’s right. It’s not enough that American CEOs get paid gigantic sums, many are also due to collect huge severance packages after they die, The Wall Street Journal reports.
Among the more outrageous posthumous packages:
$298.1 million for Comcast CEO Brian Roberts
$288 million for Nabors CEO Eugene Isenberg
$115.6 million for Occidental CEO Ray Irani
$17 million for Shaw Group CEO J.M. Bernhard to not compete with the firm after he dies
The practice is time-honored but was largely hidden until a recent change to disclosure requirements. Defenders say the packages are merely "deferred compensation" or geared to aid estate-planning and tax efficiency.
Even after the scandals of Enron and WorldCom, it’s pretty clear that many CEOs -- and their boards -- have no shame when it comes to compensation.
Barring an act of Congress, the only way these practices will change is if shareholders demand it and/or stories such as the Journal’s embarrass companies into reviewing these practices.
