Even as millions of people have lost their jobs during the pandemic, the soaring stock market since the spring has delivered outsize gains to the wealthiest Americans. And few among the superrich have done as well as corporate executives who received stock awards this year.
But the surge in wealth also highlights how the compensation of senior executives is designed to give them enormous windfalls, which they have gotten even during one of the sharpest economic downturns in decades. When asked to explain how the company arrived at Stack’s 2020 stock grants, it said in a statement, “As in prior years, the compensation committee considered a number of factors, including the company’s 2019 performance.”
“If you don’t adjust your approach when there is a shake-up in the market and your stock price is down significantly, investors are going to raise concerns,” said Brett Miller, head of data solutions for the responsible-investment arm of ISS. “What you don’t do is give executives more opportunities to increase their value.”
