A new study has examined the salaries of executives in Dax companies, revealing that some CEOs earn double-digit millions. The question many are asking is whether these salaries are justified. The study shows that despite high compensation, the performance and responsibilities of executives do not always rise in tandem. Many citizens and experts are calling for a review of salaries and stronger regulation to achieve a fairer distribution of corporate profits.
