Oprah interviews $36K CEO of $100M Internet Company

Post by SuperHornet »

The CEO of zappos.com, the world's largest Internet shoe company (featured quite extensively on TLC's What Not to Wear) makes $36K/year and has a cubicle just like any other employee. They rake in $100M or more in sales every year.

How come more CEOs can't take an example from this guy?

I'm gonna guess he's got some "other" sources of income from the company... :) :) :)

Exactly.

Many CEO's are worth their pay. I have no problem with CEO pay as long as it's tied to performance.
"Sarah Palin absolutely blew AWAY the audience tonight. If there was any doubt as to whether she was savvy enough, tough enough or smart enough to carry the mantle of Vice President, she put those fears to rest tonight. She took on Barack Obama DIRECTLY on every issue and exposed... She did it with warmth and humor, and came across as the every-person....it's becoming mroe and more clear that she was a genius pick for McCain."

It always is until things go bad, then it becomes an entitlement.
You matter. Unless you multiply yourself by c squared. Then you energy.
