They get pissed about the golden parachute that is given regardless of performance.
People hate head football coaches for the same reason.

That was the first quasi-analogy I thought of and the first example was paying Les Miles $2m to leave Kansas after he royally fricked up the program.
There are CEOs that are worth every penny of their exorbitant salaries but there are some that drive their companies off a cliff and still get huge golden parachutes on the way out the door of a company that is circling the drain.

And these happen for the same reason. The CEO has an outsized effect on a company. Our CEO (probably will read this and knows who I am) will make about $1.5 million this year. Most of that is incentives based on earnings. But he can make a difference in earnings on $20 million per year one way or the other. So we are very willing to pay well when we think we have the right one. If we’re wrong, and we pay a million dollar severance when we have to fire him, that is 2% of annual earnings, so big deal. if we lost him because we would not agree to that, and our earnings plateaued at $20 million lower, that would be catastrophic relative to that payout.
In case he reads this…
