Quotes About Compensation

Compensation needs to be predominately performance-driven. If CEO compensation was performance-driven, which I believe it was in IBM's case, nobody would ever argue. If the shareholders didn't make billions and billions of dollars, I wouldn't make millions of dollars.
~ Louis V. Gerstner, Jr.
If CEO compensation was performance-driven, which I believe it was in IBM's case, nobody would ever argue. If the shareholders didn't make billions and billions of dollars, I wouldn't make millions of dollars. My salary was the same for 10 years. It was all performance-based.

While "greed" is one of the most popular—and most fallacious—explanations of the very high salaries of corporate executives, when your salary depends on what other people are willing to pay you, you can be the greediest person on earth and that will not raise your pay in the slightest. Any serious explanation of corporate executives' salaries must be based on the reasons for those salaries being offered, not the reasons why the recipients desire them.
~ Thomas Sowell
Price controls almost invariably produce black markets, where prices are not only higher than the legally permitted prices, but also higher than they would be in a free market, since the legal risks must also be compensated. While small-scale black markets may function in secrecy, large-scale black markets usually require bribes to officials to look the other way.
~ Thomas Sowell

What she was coming to realize, but what no woman was allowed to utter aloud, was that there was no guarantee your child would be adequate compensation for the life you gave up to have it. More and more, life looked an awful lot like a hoax perpetrated on women and designated to further men's lives at the expense of their own.
~ C.E. Morgan
The more civilized, the more conscious and complicated a man is, the less he is able to follow his instincts. His complicated living conditions and the influence of his environment are so strong that they drown the quiet voice of nature. Opinions, beliefs, theories, and collective tendencies appear in its stead and back up all the aberrations of the conscious mind. Deliberate attention should then be given to the unconscious so that the compensation can set to work.
~ C.G. Jung
Dreams are, after all, compensations for the conscious attitude.
~ C.G. Jung
It is always helpful, when we set out to interpret a dream, to ask: What conscious attitude does it compensate
~ C.G. Jung
NaÅ¡e doba je epochou chaosu a rozkladu. VÅ¡e se stalo problematickým. Jak se to v takových stavech dÄ›je vždy, tla?í se nevÄ›domé obsahy na hranice vÄ›domí s cílem kompenzovat jeho nouzi. Stojí proto zato pe?livÄ› sledovat vÅ¡echny hrani?ní jevy, jakkoli temné se mohou zdát, aby v nich byly nalezeny zárodky možných nových Ã…â"¢ád?.
~ C.G. Jung
In cases of neurosis and psychosis, the unconscious attempted to compensate the one-sided conscious attitude. The unbalanced individual defends himself against this, and the opposites become more polarized. The corrective impulses that present themselves in the language of the unconscious should be the beginning of a healing process, but the form in which they break through makes them unacceptable to consciousness.
~ C.G. Jung
An epoch is like an individual; it has its own limitations of conscious outlook, and therefore requires a compensatory adjustment. This is effected by the collective unconscious in that a poet, a seer or a leader allows himself to be guided by the unexpressed desire of his times and shows the way, by word or deed, to the attainment of that which everyone blindly craves and expects—whether this attainment results in good or evil, the healing of an epoch or its destruction.
~ C.G. Jung
Les rêves sont des compensations de l'attitude consciente. (p. 220)
~ C.G. Jung
Dar daca visele dau expresie unor compensari atat de importante, de ce nu sunt atunci inteligibile? - aceasta intrebare mi-a fost pusa de foarte multe ori. Trebuie sa raspund ca visul este un fenomen al naturii si ca natura nu manifesta nici cea mai mica tendinta de a-si oferi oarecum pe gratis si corespunzator asteptarilor umane, roadele.
~ Carl Gustav Jung
In order to compensate for its chaotic formlessness, a mass always produces a "Leader," who almost infallibly becomes the victim of his own inflated ego-consciousness, as numerous examples in history show.
~ Carl Jung
The Unsolicited Promise When the man volunteered, "I promise we'll look after him," he gave one of the most reliable signals of trouble. Promises are used to convince us of an intention, but they are not guarantees. A guarantee offers some compensation if the speaker fails to deliver, but promises offer no such collateral. They are the very hollowest instruments of speech, showing nothing more than the speaker's desire to convince you of something.
~ Gavin de Becker
