A massive number of people are making big salaries that have risked absolutely none of their assets. Then when they suck, not only did they not risk or lose anything materially, they'll get huge severance checks.

And if you require a carrot that takes you from, say, $2M to $2.5M salary, maybe re-consider what motivates you and try to find something more intrinsic to the work & company itself.

Who are you to tell someone their motivations are wrong? I agree with you for myself wholeheartedly but I'm not about to go dictate to people what they should be motivated by. How incredibly arrogant.

But is that such a massive number in comparison? It sounds like you're talking executive levels.

Not that I disagree with you, I just think the numbers don't add up to be called massive.
