Insurance CEO Pay: What's Fair, What's History, and What's Next

Insurance CEO Pay: What's Fair, What's History, and What's Next?

I started trying to answer one question: is Insurance CEO pay fair? and ended up with a massive project. In this episode, I dig into the history of executive pay, share eye-opening stats from AIG, and ask for your help with figuring out who gets paid what and how that's changed over time. Plus, submit your insurance grievance for inclusion in my holiday Festivus episode!
