Attempting to change the subject doesn't change the fact that this obscene compensation amounts to stealing from the pockets of his own employees. Rather than structuring Google as a dictatorship, how about we structure it as a democracy and ask Googlers what they think the CEO should be paid, at their own expense. Do you think they would come up with a number that is less or more than the current figure?

Which would likely end with only being able to hire significantly less competent CEOs than other companies.

Only on average over long term of course. There is quite a lot of variance considering how useless someone like Pichai seems to be.
