US companies face a "logistical nightmare" from a new rule forcing them to disclose the ratio between their chief executive's pay package and that of the typical employee
Oh my word. We can make fantasticalistically complex software to model markets and manage asset trading, but working out pay differentials is going to be a nightmare.
Melanchthon:
The mandatory disclosure will provide ammunition for activists seeking to target perceived examples of excessive pay and perks.
Oh, activists, oh, right. Better keep everything under wraps than let those people "perceive" what's going on.
[The latter point does not apply to increased policing and security measures for the general population, of course, because if you've got nothing to hide, you've got nothing to fear, have you?]
