FTSE 100 長，指導者s （人命などを）奪う，主張する they are hard-up compared with the 明言する／公表するs. But our 分析 示唆するs a very different story: Are British bosses REALLY underpaid?
A tale of a 長，指導者 (n)役員／(a)執行力のある about to join a high-profile British company has gone 負かす／撃墜する in City folklore.?
Before taking the reins, a 信用d 助言者 asks him the rather ぎこちない question of how much he thought he should be paid.
'How much do you think I can get away with?' （機の）カム the haughty reply.
It's an intriguing insight into the する権利を与えるd, self-serving mindset that still 勝つ／広く一帯に広がるs in some of Britain's boardrooms, にもかかわらず １０年間s of 成果／努力s by 選挙運動者s to 抑制（する） 'fat cat' 支払う／賃金 and a cost-of-living squeeze that has 攻撃する，衝突する 世帯s.?
The number of 主要な companies 押し進めるing for 支払う／賃金 rises for their leaders has jumped even after they trousered an 普通の／平均（する） of £4.5 million, a 最近の 熟考する／考慮する 明らかにする／漏らすd.
The 分析 by 商売／仕事 consultancy Deloitte 設立する that 16 FTSE 100 companies are looking to 改造する their 支払う／賃金 政策s ? with nine of them having '過激な' 計画（する）s to 上げる their boss's 支払う／賃金 this year, compared to four 以前.
'Many of these companies have a 重要な US 足跡 and 特記する／引用する the 不平等 in 支払う／賃金 levels between the UK and US as a challenge when competing for and 保持するing 上級の talent in a 全世界の marketplace,' said Deloitte partner Mitul Shah.
But are British-based bosses really underpaid? And is there any 証拠 that more lucrative 取引，協定s on 申し込む／申し出 across the 大西洋 are 原因（となる）ing an (n)役員／(a)執行力のある exodus of 最高の，を越す talent?
To find out, The Mail on Sunday compared the 支払う／賃金 of 長，指導者 (n)役員／(a)執行力のあるs from 主要な 会社／堅いs on both 味方するs of the pond.?
We 設立する that US bosses 一般に earn more than their British 相当するものs but the gap is not always that big, 特に when 株式市場 valuations are considered.
Charles Woodburn at BAE Systems took home £13.5 million last year ? nearly £5 million いっそう少なく that the boss of Lockheed ツバメ. But the US defence 請負業者 is 価値（がある） more than twice as much as BAE based on their 各々の 株 prices.
The same is true in the oil and gas 部門 where 爆撃する's Wael Sawan recently joined the growing chorus of bosses 脅すing to up sticks and leave London. He and BP's Murray Auchincloss would appear to be paid a pittance compared to their peers at Exxon and Chevron ? until you realise that 投資家s value 株 in the US energy 巨大（な）s much more.
Pascal Soriot, 長，指導者 (n)役員／(a)執行力のある of 製薬のs 巨大（な） AstraZeneca, once complained that he was 'the lowest-paid 長，指導者 (n)役員／(a)執行力のある in the whole 産業'.
He has been playing catch-up ever since and is now Britain's highest paid boss, 収入 £16.9 million last year. Soriot still lags the likes of his US 相当するもの at Eli Lilly but a 最近の 分析 by the 財政上の Times put him in the middle of the pack of 'Big Pharma' 支払う／賃金. Th at may explain why more than a third of AZ's 株主s this month …に反対するd 計画（する）s to give him a bumper 支払う／賃金 rise.
専門家s say 支払う／賃金 不平等s 存在する because US bosses are rewarded much more in 株 than salary, but that comes with 危険s.
'The danger of 一括s which 焦点（を合わせる） too ひどく on 株 price 業績／成果 is that they can lead to short-称する，呼ぶ／期間／用語 thinking,' says Russ Mould of 投資 会社／堅い AJ Bell.
The 普通の／平均（する） 任期 of a FTSE 100 boss is just over five years, he 公式文書，認めるs.?
'It is not hard to 削減（する） costs or make an 取得／買収 to 上げる short-称する，呼ぶ／期間／用語 income ? and perhaps the 株 price,' he 追加するs. Another 推論する／理由 that American bosses are paid more might be because they are better 経営者／支配人s.
の中で those 主要な calls to 支払う／賃金 bosses more is Rupert Soames, 大統領，／社長 of the 連合 of British 産業 ロビー group.
He has dubbed many companies in the FTSE 100 'Brilos' ? 'British in 名簿（に載せる）／表（にあげる）ing Only' ? because most of their 歳入s come from overseas. As chairman of Smith & 甥, Soames is busy 勧めるing 株主s to give 長，指導者 (n)役員／(a)執行力のある Deepak Nath a 抱擁する 支払う／賃金 rise at the 医療の 器具／備品 group's 年次の 会合 this week.
GSK boss: Emma Walmsley
It is true that Nath earns a lot いっそう少なく than his peer at Stryker. But that may be because 投資家s 率 the US 競争相手 more 高度に, giving it a 株式市場 price tag more than ten times that of Smith & 甥.
Also on the warpath is Julia Hoggett. The London 在庫／株 交流 長，指導者 (n)役員／(a)執行力のある has 警告するd that a '欠如（する） of a level playing field' is 運動ing a brain drain from the City to New York and beyond. Another 対決 occurred earlier this week when 投資家s 支援するd 計画（する）s to more than 二塁打 the 支払う／賃金 of her boss, David Schwimmer, to £13.2 million.
That has put him on a par with Jeffrey Sprecher, who runs the New York 在庫／株 交流 owner Intercontinental 交流.
Companies such as chipmaker Arm Holdings, plumbing 巨大（な） Ferguson and Tarmac-owner CRH already have moved their main 名簿（に載せる）／表（にあげる）ing to 塀で囲む Street.
(n)役員／(a)執行力のある 支払う／賃金 is higher in the US ? but so too is 支払う／賃金 不平等. 反して the typical FTSE 100 boss earns 109 times more than an 従業員's 普通の／平均（する） 支払う／賃金, the 割合 in the US for the 最高の，を越す 500 会社／堅いs is 272 times.
But it is often forgotten that US bosses also （権力などを）行使する much more 力／強力にする in the boardroom than their UK peers. They usually 連合させる the 役割 of 長，指導者 (n)役員／(a)執行力のある and chairman ? something frowned upon here. There is also scant 証拠 of an active 移転 market in disgruntled UK (n)役員／(a)執行力のあるs 長，率いるing west for big bucks.
Perhaps the most successful British-born (n)役員／(a)執行力のある in the US is Jane Fraser but she rose through the 階級s before taking over at 投資 bank Citigroup.
It is also 重要な that the 名簿（に載せる）／表（にあげる） of highest-paid bosses of British companies is 支配するd by foreigners. That 示唆するs London is still a magnet for attracting and 保持するing footloose 全世界の (n)役員／(a)執行力のあるs ? whatever the 支払う／賃金.
On that 手段 at least, 報告（する）／憶測s of the City's demise as a 主要な 財政上の centre look premature.
