Executive Salries - Can we please STOP talking about them!

It seems that the media can't let go of the salaries of some of the CEO's or management in companies. I for one am sick and tired of hearing about it.

You really have 2 options -
1. Find a person who can do a better job at a lower salary.
2. Become a board member of the company and do something about it.

I don't get the point why the media or people have to complain about someone elses salary. If someone is not doing their job fire them. If they are or protected you as an investor from significant losses, then they deserve their salary. If you think you can do a better job - go for it, convince the board of directors.

What I don't get is, why the hell are you talking about it day in and day out, when there are significant other topics to be discussed about! Some executives don't deserve their salary, but when the company is not doing anything about it - why are you - perhaps a non-investor so worried about someone elses pay!
