Madness.
Why would you give a chief executive a 20% pay rise in a year when you've recorded your biggest ever operating loss?
Even worse is that Exxon and Chevron paid their chief exectutives more than this guy despite the value of the companies falling by more than BP.
The system is not fit for purpose.

Nothing to do with greed.
Simply a screw up by the board/HR department in setting the wrong targets.
Lets see if he waives it...

A £14m pay package nothing to do with greed, junior doctors don't know much.... you sure do talk a lot of bollocks, youth I mean how can someone who does their job well (if some of the reports are to be believed) not think that £10 million (plus) is enough, and that they need millions more to reward them? In most jobs if you do your job well then your reward is to keep your job and maybe get a small pay rise now and again. For senior managers it seems that they get money thrown at them no matter what, and if they show any form of competency, then they get even more money thrown at them.

It's preposterous and it's sick mate. We live in a world where anything that's not Thatcherite/Reaganist is viewed as being Marxist. The neoliberals have been very successful at filling university departments, the media and think tanks with their students, so it's simply received wisdom now that there's only one way in which to approach to economics. Thus whole generations are growing up genuinely believing that by only looking out for number one, you can make the world better. Greed is good. Trickle down wealth. All that shite. Dark times.

It seems that the victors don't only write history, but the truth! Maggie once said that without wealthy people, the parable of The Good Samaritan wouldn't exist. That's akin to saying that Jesus turning water into wine is a celebration of alcoholism. Silly, silly cow

There are contractual performance targets. I wouldnt expect the figment of someones imagination to know that.

There are contractual performance targets. I wouldnt expect the figment of someones imagination to know that. Of course I know that brits. But you're actually claiming that there's nothing greedy about a proposed £14m pay deal. I mean, really? What's the guy in it for then? Which facet of the human psyche are the people proposing the pay package trying to pander to? An overwhelming desire to help the poor and needy and make the world a better place? The vast majority of jobs have pay packets set by other people. It doesn't mean that greed plays no part in people's choice of job. How else do you explain the fact that tobacco companies generally pay well over the market rate? I've been motivated at least partly by greed in taking jobs that paid a lot less than £14m a year and I don't mind admitting it. Anyway, as soon as the ************** jibes start coming out, I know there's not much left in your tank
