6 fat cat
(in industry) = personne touchant un salaire extrêmement élevé de façon injustifiéeShell, the self-styled socially responsible oil group, yesterday rekindled the row over boardroom pay by disclosing that its new executive chairman, Phil Watts, won an 82% pay rise to £1.59m last year. The increase in Mr Watts' salary package, including a £455,000 performance bonus, dwarfed the 58% rise given to BP's chief executive Lord Browne which itself retriggered the fat cat furore.
