> "I learned that my pay was about an 80% discount to market. Meaning that competitive roles elsewhere were paying about 5 times as much." This is a fascinating statement, and shows a (willful?) misunderstanding on her part: the pool of people who could do her job at a replacement level is not "other CEO's"--it's a much larger group, including, I'm sure, a great number of people who work for her own company for much less than the CEO's salary. The fact that other CEO's are paid more than this is precisely the problem, and evidence that the role allows CEO's to abuse their power to get paid disproportionately more.
