If more company leaders followed this example of selflessness instead of being so fucking greedy the economy wouldn’t be so shitty. I mean really, just how much money do you really need to have.
This dude is fucking awesome. \m/
is there an article on this or something?
It’s true. He actually cut his pay down to $90,000 not $100,000.
The story is about 3 years old, but is still poignant.
But he points to corporate culture as the long-term solution. Like the AIG bonuses, Nishimatsu says, “shocked” him. “It’s like they’re from another planet,” he says.
A lesson of this recession, he hopes, will be that corporations don’t solely pursue profit and instead focus on the long-term financial health of the company and employ people and help society. Together with shared sacrifice, he believes, the global economy will recover - but only if everyone from the CEO to the entry-level employee works together.

If only the greed in the world were more of a rarity. Hats off to this CEO. I wish more would follow his example.
I want to fly on his planes. Also he possibly has a fat stash of shares, like Steve Jobs got paid $1 a year or something...
Kudos. I wish more people were like this.
