“It’s becoming increasingly common because we’re still in a competitive labor market,” he explains. “Executives aren’t accepting job offers if flexibility isn’t on the table.”
CEOs of major corporations aren’t a “labor market”. They’re a bunch of narcissists looking for their next hit. They won’t accept working conditions that don’t favor them because they a) don’t need to work and b) their motivation is being a business king and the more ridiculous the package is, the better it feels. It’s just a MBA delusion that he has a special brain worth tens of millions of dollars more than promoting some underling. That the market thought 10% of Chipotle’s entire value was this guy’s special brain is just insanity.
