Their recent rebrand was a colossal waste of money & completely unnecessary.

BlooCoug Intervention Needed

They also managed to take a great logo and color scheme and replace it with an ugly logo and color scheme.

People with too much time and money on their hands.

I don't disagree. Being a healthcare administrator is the way to go.

Even if it’s a nonprofit, it’s competing for talent with for profit companies

Yeah, I’m not defending IHC in particular as I’m not familiar with them at all.

CEO pay is divorced from performance. It's a joke. And a racket.

All non-profit means is you have to spend all your revenue.

And they do that well - on executive salaries.

I am not an MBA type and I have no idea what makes CEOs so special that they can command $10 million/year.

Short answer: nothing

I’m not defending the compensation. I think CEOs are paid too much, just like professional athletes.
