Yeah, that's fair.

According to Security and Exchange Commission reports, Verizon Communications Inc. co-CEO's Chuck Lee and Ivan Seidenberg, were paid $28 million in 2001, and stock options that could be worth $152.3 million.

At a recent mandatory meeting at work, we were made to watch our "quarterly broadcast" where Verizon Communications Inc. reported profits of about $67 billion.

That same day, we got our "Corporate Profit Sharing" check, taxed at about 40%.

The take home was about $300.

Yeah, that's fair.

check out the $$$ made by CEO's of HMOs, and then read an article about their companies denying a medication or surgery to someone. now that's capitalism at its worst

Skid,,, I work 4 Verizon too as a Lineman and since we're union we're lucky to even get that $300 because of the simple fact that we can earn 95 grand a year while only actually working for 3 hours a day plus "overtime"

The sad truth about CEO's is that they get contracts to run the company, guaranteeing them millions in severance and stock options on top of their salaries. They can receive this even if THEIR leadership drives the company into bankruptcy! This was the case with Excite@Home, and if I can find the article, I'll post it.
