Well I'll concede the point that it might be premature to assume too much about where her total earnings will land. I don't find it hateful to scrutinize situations where pay inequity seems to be taking place.

Can't tell that from anything I've read so far. He was the CEO for at least a couple of years and it's not clear when the industry downward adjustment hit in relation to when he had the ability to negotiate.

Yeah, it's been so long since I've seen it...couldn't honestly remember how well or poorly it treated its subject matter. I just remember PSH's performance being so incredible.

Does anyone remember him in Flawless, with Robert Deniro? That was the first film of his I ever saw, and fro some reason since hearing of his death, I keep flashing back to that one. Really need to watch it again. He was so dazzlingly brilliant in that movie and it was such a beautiful, heartbreaking role.

Is revelant anything like relevant?

Nope, I'm not saying that. As i said with my actual words, I am doubtful that the long-term incentives will make up the >50% earnings delta.

Wow, your arguments have really run the gamut. First, no there's not really an issue here because the industry overall saw a 14% earnings drop for execs. That didn't fly. Then, well, he's not a real employee, he's just a consultant. Nope, the comparison of their relative earnings was based on his CEO earnings, not…

Christ, did you even read this article? They compared her incoming CEO pay to his CEO pay from 2012. He's just an advisor now and WILL STILL make more than she's making as CEO.

Oh I'm so sorry. Let me spell it out in simpler terms.

Um, yeah, so unless auto industry executive pay has JUST THIS MINUTE decreased by 14%, one would expect that some adjustment has already taken place wrt the former CEO's earnings, lowering them from what they would have potentially been had such a downward trend not been taking place.

Yeah, she might be. I came up positive for HPV in my early twenties and they did cryosurgery, which apparently didn't take. By the time they realized I still had HPV lesions on my cervix, they were at a pre-cancerous stage. Then I had laser surgery and all has been hunky dory since that. Still, had it gone…

Apropos of nothing, I work with a guy from Brazil named Fabio. He of course looks nothing like your Fabio, though he's one of the nicest guys I've ever met. Still, because of your Fabio, I was unable to address my Fabio without tittering a little inwardly for the first month or so when he first arrived at our…

Ugh, indeed. Reading your post, I have to say that I feel relatively lucky in that my mom admittedly did instill decent nutritional habits in me and my sister when we were growing up (she cooked balanced meals, we always had lots of fresh veggies and fruits, she refused to ever buy "sugar cereal", and rarely let us…

WORD.

Babies would totally throw chunks of breastmilk and smear it on everything, if only they could. ;-)

THIS. This is how I feel when we find out anyone has developed an eating disorder—particularly those in the public eye. I think it was Naomi Wolf, in The Beauty Myth, who talked about how girls/women who develop eating disorders are responding in a perfectly rational way to the culture we live in—which DEMANDS that…

Amen. Just, amen.

She does look happy, true, but I clicked through to the old story link that shows up with this one—the one about Kai Hibbard, the Biggest Loser winner from I think season 3. She looked pretty happy about winning, too, but she developed a crippling eating disorder over the course of the show. That story, which I'd…

It's a good general gauge, but I would tweak it a bit. Is it a location in which a starvingly hungry child should be given a snack so that said child is not miserable and uncomfortable? And honestly, so far, I've not been able to think of a place where that would not be appropriate. Because, after all, that is what…

And bonus: couples cocktail figure skating would eventually degenerate into a heavy makeout sesh on the ice!
