Boeing CEO Dave Calhoun was awarded a giant stock bonus on top of his more-than-a-million-dollar salary last year, despite overseeing a company that has been plagued by chronic losses and safety problems.
Calhoun’s total compensation in 2023 was $32.8 million, a 45% increase from the $22.6 million he received for 2022. And it could have been a lot more: He declined to accept his annual incentive bonus of $2,800,000 – a request the board said he made after part of a Boeing 737 Max plane blew off the side of an Alaska Airlines flight in January, kicking off a series of federal investigations, a temporary grounding, executive ousters and another embarrassing public relations blunder for the company.
Really fantastic work as CEO, assassinating the guy who was going to testify is a super bold choice on his part.
When you’re too big to fail they just let you murder your whistleblowers
Yeah feels like Dragon Ball Z where a character goes into a new whole level of Super Saiyan that you didn’t know existed except a lot less cool.
