Well in yesterdays tory standard it was reported that although dixons was losing money every day, and likely very soon to go under
they still paid there failing chief executive a million quid
yep a million quid.
now i suppose you could argue that a company making profits may well be justified to be paid a little more.
but this private company making big losses and likely to go out of business
to pay its chief exac a million quid
something wrong there surely?

What a private company pays its Chief Exec is a matter for the shareholders.
As it happens the share price of Dixons has improved this week from 15.25 to 15.9 now, though it is a long way short of its peak.
What we are seeing is a business model that is suffering from a combination of the economic turndown across Europe hitting luxury consumer spending and the pressures of increased on-line sales from businesses like Amazon. Comet too are suffering the same way.
The Chief Exec of Dixons has met a number of targets to re-structure the business in the face of the changing market and that is why he got his bonus. If he is successful in what he is doing Dixons could survive and go on to prosper. You are too quick to write them off as 'soon likely to go under' Keith. Let us hope the Chief Exec achieves his aims if so he will be worth every penny he earns. High risk carries high rewards as it should do.

All I have done is to provide a brief analysis of their situation and point out the facts of restructuring embarked on by the Chief Exec Keith, pointing out that he has met his targets and if he is successful the business will survive. The big question is whether the restructuring will be a success and on that I have offered no opinion with which you can agree or disagree Keith. So I am a little puzzled by what you have just said.
Personally I just hope that the Chief Exec and his Board are right in their plans for the business, perhaps that what you mean?

Then you must surely agree that in meeting his targets he deserves his bonus and that in his high risk job and if he achieves an eventual successful outcome it would mean a much bigger bonus that would be well deserved.

You are avoiding answering my question Keith.

It is always a bit distasteful when we crow over the potential demise of a business. Business is a complex but fascinating entity and it is not as simple as "fatcats" and CEOs being overpaid, any more than it is right to complain about "management" in health and social services. Quality management is essential to running any organisation and worth the investment.
