Future generations will look back on the Ralph Norris's of the corporate world as carpetbaggers &
self-interested con men, ably supported by the phalanx of underlings firmly attached to the morally & intellectually corrupt CEO remuneration system

How can any employee be worth this kind of crazy money? I've yet to see a justification that makes any sense of a $160K a week pay plan.

I know at least 3 managers I've met in my working life who could successfully do Ralphy boy's job, and some, and who'd be happy with $1 million.+ a 25% bonus.

Greed is bad Rpalph...it isn't your money...and you're only doing a job that any effective manager could achieve...how do sleep at night, you grub....as for the syncophants, ditto to you.

OMG - $11m incentive for TOFU (Take Ownership Follow Up). I work for their NZ arm ASB (Auckland Savings Bank) & we are being inflicted with the same vego wishy washy crap that allows CEO’s like Ralph to achieve monster bonuses whilst all other employees are having their xmas parties cancelled & having all expences overlooked.
God Ralph, be a man & eat some bloody meat. Your customers (TOFU) are going to think your an a**hole so why would they want to be engaged by CBA or any of its subsidiaries. I for one dont bank CBA tho unfortunately work for them. Needless to say my bonus in recession laden NZ was not that healthy.

NEWS FLASH! Ralph Norris neither you nor another other CEO scum is worth 11.56 million let alone 8.66 million. When will the corporate sector realise this is not the reality anybody (except u & your executive sycophants) want anymore. Apart from it being an unsustainable corporate model its IMMORAL!

I dont bank with the “big 4” but what gets me when I have to go to one is that their so-called “improved customer service” changes are all cosmetic eg. someone at the door to greet you as u walk in. Who gives a shit? What will make your customers happy & satisfied is equity, fairness & less focus on unsustainable notions like “record profit each quarter”, cut credit card costs & excessive fees or excessive payouts/paypackets for executives namely greedy CEOs, and thats just for starters. Time to consider the real world, its quite different to the ugly corporate one. U guys are disgusting & make me sick!
