Default CEO's pay

Over $11M last year. Geez he has my sympathy regarding having to eat at the local soup lines. Oh I know, someone here will stick up for him and state he's worth every penny.

Harley CEO made 11.2 million dollars while presiding over a 14% loss in stock price since he took over. Harley's stock has fallen over 23 percent since mid-March last year. The argument for high CEO pay is they are making the company money, but that is not true here.

Looked at Chesapeake lately? And their CEO is the one of the highest paid of all? I also remember the CEO of Sandridge who was making 25 mil a year and they paid him 93 mil to fire him. Nothing makes sense in the business world today.

I never thought Matt Levatich was a good CEO. But I’m not a fan of the New Coke strategy, disrespecting your base, and beancounting.

Great leaders are passionate about the quality of their products. They don’t look at a Harley as another sprocket, like Mr. Spaceley.

Well it’s only $550 a hour . And he’ll probably get a very very small bonus on top of the 11 mil .
