And not being funny, but CEO's are expected to earn big bucks. Not sure him taking nothing for a year would make a difference ...
I'm sure there are many people who're now out of work, who given that chance and the possibility of their company being solvent and in a job wuold take it.Hang on - there is actually a place called Cheddar?? - cailin maith

The point is that it's absolutely no sacrifice at all for the CEO to give up £60k of his money. He's asking other poor sods in the company to get into debt / possibly go hungry probably because he and his fellow execs fecked up in the first place.Guy Fawkes - "The last man to enter Parliament with honourable intentions."Comment

And no - taking a week of unpaid leave (Or up to a month) isn't going to make anyone starve, and they'll still be a lot better off than if they'd no job at all.
And BTW Is it really his fault the global economy has tanked? bit harsh, no?Hang on - there is actually a place called Cheddar?? - cailin maith

I would (and indeed have) do this in a small outfit where I knew the boss was taking an equivalent hit, but no way is that bloke worth 61k a month and as others have said, it's a tiny sacrifice for him.Comment

I get that, but equally it's a bit of a side issue. Personally I'd be pissed off at him, and possibly baying for his blood - but more importantly I'd be worrying about myself first and being in a job ...Hang on - there is actually a place called Cheddar?? - cailin maith

Why are they asking the workers to give up their pay?
Why not ask the shareholders to dig deep and to fund the company they own through this lean period!
The shareholders have done well over the years taking dividends from vast profits, surely they also have a responsibility for the loses.
If it is a choice of a month off and no job at all I would take the month off. I would still be pissed off witht he board and owners though.I am not qualified to give the above advice!
