FTSE 100 CEO pay unrelated to performance

I have written before, quoting Chris Bones and Sir Paul Judge, about how directors have, over a number of years, captured increasingly huge pay packages that bear no relation to their own or their companies' performance. Further evidence is provided by the Manifest and MM&K Total Remuneration Survey 2011, quoted in Tricker and Mallin's blog. 


They report that "median FTSE100 CEO remuneration increased by 32% to £3.5million in 2010 compared to 2009, whilst the FTSE100 index only rose 9% over the same period." I am prepared to bet that the falling stock market and falling corporate profits in 2011 will not show up in reduced remuneration!
