But even school districts are handing them out to superintendents who don’t work out.

Ever heard of the "rubber room?"

Here is one example:

If I got paid $132,000 a year to do nothing I’d be a huge fan of the union. Beats working for your money like a chump.

I remember around about 2000 the then CEO of Florida Power & Light James Broadhead had lined up a big merger with Entergy out of New Orleans and it was to be the largest power company in the U.S. and prior to the actual paper signing he collected I believe 13 million dollars in bonuses but at the last second Entergy backed out of the deal and Broadhead kept the bonus money and never did give it back, I thought to myself at the time that they ought to run that SOB out with no questions asked , but looking at it now , I wonder what that would have cost them. You got to admit though even if they are legalized crooks and bullscrapers they are good negotiators or they are dealing with clueless people.

No it doesn't, what values could you possibly teach your children?

The US is the only developed country where CEO's have outlandish salaries. Most other countries have a far more aggressive progressive tax that prohibits that from happening. We used to until the 1980's. That is when top management salaries started going through the roof.

But even school districts are handing them out to superintendents who don’t work out. Ours right now is being paid not to come in his last 6 months or so and an interim super we pay her $700 a DAY to clean up the mess. Now the district is interviewing for the next superintendent. We have been through four in 2 years. Our school board is a mess and micro manage the entire show. This interim super is here for her second round of cleaning up. These people don’t deserve a parachute. They deserve a pack full if cement . And the property tax keeps going to pay off these folks n several law suits

school boards can be bad news. back in the day it seemed like every county had its own school board and within counties, the cities had their own system, all requiring layer after layer of admin employees. i realize there has been some consolidation but how many admin people do you really need?

school superintendents are making big big bucks nowadays.

i say......blow up public education

"The Rubber Room is a 2010 documentary film about the reassignment centers run by the New York City Department of Education ...

The film documents the daily routines of teachers accused of misconduct or incompetence. Several days, weeks, months, or even years are spent in these "Kafkaesque"[1] rubber rooms waiting for some kind of resolution; the filmmakers estimate that the average wait time is three years, but cited cases lasting as long as ten years. During this time in "exile", the teachers receive their full pay and benefit packages at the cost of up to 65 million dollars per year to the city,[2] spending each day reading, playing cards, balancing checkbooks, sleeping, or simply staring blankly at the walls."

Note: I recall from watching this documentary that any given time there were up to hundreds of teachers at a time involved ...

Paying excessive salaries/compensation in a Privately Held Company is just that..... Private. People can divest themselves of that stock whenever they want. Corporataions exist for that purpose alone.

Paying goobermint employees excessively is thievery. goobermint has no competition

If people divested stocks in corporations with excessive executive pay, then no one would own stocks. That solution don't work.

Lets start with controlling of football coach's salaries. In almost every state the State college's football coach is by far the highest paid State employee.
