In a highly anticipated announcement, Uber this month took the leap to go public. In the ride-hailing company’s registration statement, the company revealed that its top officers raked in between nearly $10 million and $48 million last year.
Directors serving on the boards of the new gig-economy unicorns that either have filed or are expected to file IPOs this year face different compensation challenges from some traditional companies, particularly because their workers are classified as contractors, not employees.
Uber CEO Dara Khosrowshahi was tasked with coming in to replace disgraced co-founder Travis Kalanick and clean up the brand after reports of companywide sexual harassment and discrimination surfaced in 2017. Khosrowshahi has a pay package worth more than $45 million, which is arguably in line with chief executives in his peer group, but given Uber’s non-traditional workforce, its past problems and its veritable online existence, it remains to be seen whether Khosrowshahi’s pay appears appropriate in the eyes of the company’s drivers.
