Exec pay factoid

Some work colleagues have been crunching a few numbers on exec pay in the UK since 2000.

Change in total cash remuneration (ie excluding options, LTIPS etc) for directors of FTSE100 companies from 2000 to 2008: +80%
Performance of the FTSE100 over same period: -30%

Obviously if you include share-based awards the disparity is even more dramatic.
