Telecom rife with CEO pay/performance gaps

摘要

Exorbitant executive compensation is widespread in corporate America, but telecom executives as a group are the worst offenders, according to a recent study by The Corporate Library. Of 11 companies identified by TCL as having the biggest disconnect between shareholder returns and CEO compensation, four-or more than a third-were telecom companies: AT & T, BellSouth, Lucent Technologies and Verizon Communications. No other industry had nearly as much representation on the list.
