We’ve been in a recession, job losses are a late indicator, plus Japan dumped about 600 billion of our bond to prop up their failing currency, so good times ahead

And yet CEOs...

2026 vs. 2025 CEO Pay Trends

Higher Probability of Raises: In 2026, 68% of CEOs are projected to receive a salary increase, up from 61% in 2025. This marks the highest proportion in five years.

Base Salary Growth: Projections for 2026 show base salaries for CEOs climbing by 3% or more.

Significant Raises: Roughly 21% of companies are projecting base salary increases above 5% for CEOs in 2026, reversing a pattern where larger raises were concentrated in lower-level positions.

Bonuses and Equity: Bonuses, particularly in sectors like architecture and engineering, are projected to climb in 2026. Approximately 50% of companies plan to increase their CEO's bonus target for 2026.

Performance Focus: Compensation structures in 2026 are increasingly tied to profitability and margin improvements rather than just revenue growth.

Still whining, crying, and wishcasting for rate cuts. Do you ever get tired of acting like a poor on here?

Corresponds with everything I see anecdotally with my client base and talking to business people. I believe it’s the under reported story that will blow up on demand around election time.

It might be under reported, but people are living it. People know their companies are laying people off and there aren't many jobs available elsewhere for those who are getting laid off.

Nobody linking the silly 'truflation' site on here is 'right'. Sorry you are so over leveraged that higher rates (which are still actually low when compared to history) is making your life so miserable that you have whined and cried on here for damn near four years about 'rates'. Go sit in the corner of your 800 sqft cuckbox condo and cry.

Ive never know a BOD or CEO that had a goal “employing as many people as possible”. Layoffs or hires are not metrics for CEO performance.

Businesses don’t exist to “give” people jobs. Thats not their purpose.

Warsh is calling for cuts as well and that proves how dumb you are
You constantly cry about a condo in Miami when you live in a mobile home park

You wanted to fight my kids. You are a pathetic loser
