CEO pay is an outlier partly for their vision/talent, but primarily because they individually take the hit whenever a subordinate, no matter how far down the chain, fucks up publicly.

Sometimes it seems the other way with failing up. But yeah, a CEO sometimes has to take a lot of shit. See

Personally I do not care how much they get paid as much as I care how miserable they can make my life as a customer/vendor/employee.
Err, unless he's tapping you to be his next-in-line, a CEO's impact on your happiness is vanishingly small relative to your customer service agent's, your sales rep's, or your immediate boss's.
