The Honey Badger is angry.... The Honey Badger realizes DD makes $11.4 Million a year while we lose our ass on recalls, backorders, and lies. The Honey Badger is hungry ... http://www.aflcio.org/Corporate-Watch/Paywatch-2016/S-P-500-CEO-Pay#!/search/ZBH
A big, big difference in the annual compensation for Dane Miller.....sure, he had lots of equity but if I recall he never made much more than $350K annually..and didn't take any ongoing stock options. Also, notice the many device, insurance, drug/pharma, etc. CEO's who are even higher than DD. No wonder healthcare costs are out of control! I'm all for making as much $$ as you can, but there is an obscene limit.
He was only able to draw that much income due to stock options. That $11m isnt guaranteed every year, but more so tied to the share price. If you read the annual executive compensation review that is made public it goes into more detail. Which is quite hilarious that his income did grow year over year even though the company itself was missing quarterly targets with Wall Street. Yet, most healthcare companies are a safer bet than other available stocks due the fact that there is always a need for it and that it continues to grow at 2-3% yearly.
No, there are still some parts available if not on back order or recall or hoarded (you know who you are).
