Remuneration

  

Categories: Company Management

Well, first you were munerated. And then it happened again. The nerve.

Remuneration is just pay. Compensation. A good day's pay for a good day's work.

The complexity? Well, at the senior levels in various professions, pay isn't always fully made in cash. CEOs get stock options. They get stock. They get bonuses paid in both cash and stock. They get benefits and other perks, like the key to the executive washroom with the fountain thing and the guy who washes your hands for you.

Remuneration. Good to get when the going's good.
