Your crassness is not worthy of a Porsche forum.
If you read and understood what you were reading your questions would be answered.

 

Ban this commi.

 

+1, Ban the walmart employee!

 

In other words, you'll mask your inability to properly form a rebuttal with condescension and pointless elitism.

 

The defensiveness shown by some of you to a Porsche article in the Financial Times is laughable!

 

Which bridge did you crawl out from under?

 

As long as they keep making the best cars in the world, I will continue to add to that $70m as often as I can.

 

 

wouldn't be the first time either

 

So what if he gets paid oooh so much? He's running a multi-billion dollar company. One f'k up and there is a hell of a lot more lost than $100M.

Also I don't think many would be surprised though if you tied it back to blood diamonds or something crazy like that.

 

This thread has been the most fun to read since the C4S guy who thought his car could beat an F16 (or was that an E55). 6speeders are great.

 

Not only does his company build awesome cars and create happy clients but he is creating jobs. Those employees put their money into the economy. Its a win win. I agree, if Porsche were loosing money and closing plants and laying off employees. That salary would need to be renegotiated.

 

ok...a little defense here...

Is the guy over-paid, of course...should the tech on the factory line actually putting your car together be making more money? of course, again.

As far as running the company...please. The products, as we all know, sell themselves....his job is to not f-up.

Now, on the other hand, much of that money may be deferred compensation, options, equity, etc. So I doubt he will pull that every year.

Lastly...if he made min wage...you turbo will still cost $125k either way...so to the consumer this is hardly news.

 

More power to him, he is leading the company in the right direction. Great cars need great leadership .. And great leadership should be rewarded.

 

hey he is running the greatest car manufacturer so why not? what you think they'll lower the price of the cars if he takes a pay cut?
