Optional: On average, over 80% of a CEO’s pay is connected to the stock price, and thus, if the company does well, the CEO gets rewarded handsomely. In addition, some entrepreneur CEOs risk their family’s livelihood and invest all their personal savings to start a company. They work twice as many hours a week as most American workers, and they provide motivation for new entrants into the market that there can be a major payoff. But is this payoff too high? Are American CEOs paid too much? Why, or why not?

Cidney:

Almost all of these assignments align with any profession. I am not currently in a profession as I am pregnant and stay at home mom and am unable to work due to the circumstances surrounding my pregnancy. In the past I have dealt with all aspects of this course. Unfortunately the companies I have worked for have had poor human resource management teams and poor management and direction to boot. Human resources is supposed to be a major part of the back bone of a company and it can make or break a company depending on the type of skilled or unskilled management team you have. I think that this course helps you understand how the system is supposed to work in hopes that people in this department will understand what a good human resource team looks like and how it runs.
