Limiting manager salaryIn an discussion reached me the question, what can a manager more than a simple worker. Completely clear, the visions, the longtime planning is missing.
Would a simple worker have the idea to make company intern studies about the oil production? Natural not, for a simple screw turner is always eternal like in the present time. Because of this holy simplemindedness are on his salary 1 to 4 Zeros less than at the manager.
Because of the strictly secret company intern study about peak-oil, the top manager starts to make consequent the products of his company ready for the future. Secret negotiations with new technology partners, building up an own battery resarch department. The critic of the greedy share holders, beliving in the eternal cheap crude oil, never becoming less or has something to do with the climate change. To withstand all this impeachment of the uniformed and to plan the company straight the way in the future are the ebilities of a top mananger. To have the certainty, the day will come, where he is celebrated as the saver of the company, even when there is much critic today. For this abilities earn managers more.
Probably, the mangers at BYD are compared to US standards completely underpaid. BYD purchased 2003 a car factory in order to produce electric cars and Plug-in hybrid cars. About the same time, the completely overpaid managers of GM General celebrated the scrapping of the last EV1. Here we see, how an appropriable salery of managers influences the future of a company. |
