Ever since 2001, when France enacted a law requiring listed companies to reveal their executives’ pay packages, newspapers have had a field day denouncing greedy bosses. Not only are fixed salaries revealed, but so are bonuses, fees for serving on boards of directors, returns on stock options, pension packages, and other perks, such as corporate jets or chauffeur-driven cars.
当法国在2001年制定法律，要求上市公司披露其主管的薪金报酬以来，各个报纸就大肆谴责那些贪得无厌的老板们。报纸不仅报道了他们的固定工资，而且还有奖金、董事会成员费用、期权收益、养老金以及公司提供的喷气飞机或者专职司机的汽车等其他特权。但是，直到现在，当报章的注意力转移到其他地方后，主管们的薪金问题脱离了人们的视野。
