CEO should not be compensated in shares because they have insider information and can benefit from manipulation. It has always been a recipe for disaster.
Equity is good. It encourages people to give a shit as to whether a product is launched or not and so forth.
The issue is more that we have this convoluted scheme to let people cash out their shares throughout their time with the company because it makes 'total compensation" higher
Personally? I would have almost no issues if it were just put into an escrow account and treated more like a retirement/severance package. Working at InterTrode? Those shares are untouchable. Leave InterTrode? YOLO.
All it does is encourages stock buybacks. Too many CEOs are trash at running companies.
