I'm confused. The title says this is about the pay gap among top CEOs. But all the charts in the presentation are about payment of board members EXCLUDING the CEO. Am I missing something, or is this title wildly inaccurate?
German public corporations have a separate board representing stakeholder interests. It's not a full-time job (typically just a few meetings per year, and in theory some legal responsibility), and some of the board members are not employed by the corporation. Considering the time commitment, typical compensation for board members is still very, very generous, but much lower annually than the numbers quoted in the report.
