General Former Navy SEAL: Executive Protection Is Going to Be a Nightmare
- Thread starter oblongo
- Start date
Tough shit.
Sign on to make $20+ million a year and maybe you should be investing some of that into protection.
In 2023, CEO pay at S&P 500 companies increased 6% over the previous year—to an average of $17.7 million in total compensation.
The average CEO-to-worker pay ratio was 268-to-1 for S&P 500 Index companies in 2023. It would take more than five career lifetimes for workers to earn what CEOs receive in just one year.

It probably should be even higher if it was a real meritocracy. A CEO at a company that size has more impact on revenue & profits than probably 10k+ employees do.
Executive salaries are suppressed if anything.
Anyway you're a full out open communist so not sure why I am even bother replying.
Anyway I do agree this is a game changer... Most executives live their life mixed in with regular folks and with next to no security. They don't live in fear, and they have never really been a target... At least out here in the first world.
I've met with some execs from third world countries and they travel with security details. That's just the norm. USA is just getting more and more closer to becoming Brazil every day.

The murdered CEO was under investigation for some shady shit:
Beyond that... Change Healthcare (part of UHC) in the last year paid a $22m cyber ransom for a cyberattack due to absolutely garbage information security policies.
The hilarious part... is that the actual attackers didn't see a dime as they used a ransomware that was essentially franchise where the money would go to a bitcoin wallet owned by the ransomware devs and then released to the attackers after taking a cut.
In this case, the devs took the whole payment and disappeared lol
You're a full fucking retard if you actually think a CEO has that much impact on P&L.
They are generally figureheads who just set strategic direction after people REALLY doing the work propose it.
So he Not really the bad guy, just an overpaid desk ornament?
Get your rage points straight before you share with the class.
No... he's both.
He's a desk ornament who's making like 280 times what the average employee is at UHC. He's also put in place by a board that ONLY cares about profit... so he's a puppet to make strategic decisions that only impact the stock ROE.
CEOs arent that fucking special. They're just suits put in place to put shareholders above everything... which is why UHC has an AI tool to automatically deny treatment... despite it having a totally unacceptable error rate.
I really dont get how people can suck the dick of these overpaid fucks. They are as bad our politicians.
I'm not sucking anyone's dick. You however haven't seen a "social injustice" you didn't dive on.
You rival Obama as the most willing to side with the dirtbag. In your zeal you fail to realize that your opinions are as damaging, if not more, to the overall discourse. You eat, breath, and spread preposterous left wing propaganda and talking points. Then you skulk away and deny your actions when proven wrong. Consistently.
I thought maybe you had grown up a little bit but you sure as shit jumped on this particular cock.
I spent half my life in Healthcare, few know more than I how fucked up and out of balance the entire system is. I've experienced this same fuckery as a patient.
From everything you've posted over the years this guy is your enemy. He's born of privilege, has done nothing useful with it, and his only struggle is that his back hurts too much to fuck. His very privileged life and education came from his parents warehousing the elderly and participating in the insurance industry cartel.
Yet you praise this mentally broken incel as some sort of hero for our times?
Your politics have you even more twisted up and confused than you were in your heyday on the OG.
Once we go down the road of vigilante justice where does it end? What's the desired outcome here?
I, too, think the insurance industry in America has absolutely co-opted our Healthcare system and I would like to see significant changes that the money managers fear the most.
But this is NOT the way.
This particular slippery slope is steep and greasy, once the gloves are off the bullets fly both ways. Do you understand what that actually means?
You are praising a mentally broken failure for an incredibly selfish act, because it fits the larger agenda you have wrapped your identity around.
But thats pretty much your thing, isn't it
Lol don't make him short circuit.
Execs ARE responsible for record profits for companies (making profit is bad to communists)... while simultaneously being overpaid and not responsible for success of company lol.
It makes total sense... You just have to forget everything you learned in that intro to logic and reasoning class.
Where did I praise the murderer?
I'm just saying... wealth distribution the way it is right now is exactly how it was when the french revolution happened.
What do they say about those who ignore history?
CEO pay is fucking broken. And I say this as someone doing just fine for myself. I have a lower 6 figure salary.... make another $25-35k from a hobby... and the money I have in the market actually is helped by evil companies squeezing every dollar of profit even if it means fucking over the 99% to make the 1% another percentage point.
They think socialism will work this time?
So pardon me if I dont have any sympathy for someone making 8 figures in annual compensation and not taking their safety seriously.
Maybe the rich should also have the same fear as the barely getting by have when they get completely wiped out financially by as something as common as cancer.

Who said anything about socialism?
Limiting CEO pay benefits everyone EXCEPT CEOs. Fuck em.
You seem passionately excited by senseless murder, while saying that isn't so.
A very privileged childless young man killed a blue collar middle aged man with a family that crawled to the top.
How many surfing vacations do you think that guy went on in his 20s.
One played the game, the other didn't understand why he had to.
Your so called convictions are all 9ver the place.
Talking to you is like talking to a jew about Isreal or a catholic about the history of their church. Pointless.
In a month you will swear you didn't say all this shit, and if you did it was just to spark conversation about the topic because it needs to be pushed out there.

Of the dozen or so CEOs I've worked with none of them had a clue. One place I worked at, big company, we had a new one almost every year. Saying they deserve what they make is hilarious. Like any role only about 2/10 people are worth exceptional compensation. Might even be lower for c-suite employees based on my experience.
But limiting their pay by regulation is not something I'd support either.
