Ex-Carrefour Boss Gives Up $4.6 Million Bonus After Furor

Ex-Carrefour Boss Gives Up $4.6 Million Bonus After Furor

The former boss of top French supermarket chain Carrefour SA walked away from a multi-million-euro payment after the country’s economy minister denounced his package as exorbitant. Former Chief Executive Officer Georges Plassat decided to waive his right to a non-compete fee valued at 4 million euros ($4.6 million) because of the “misunderstanding” surrounding the award, the company said in a statement Saturday. Such levels of pay are “shocking,” Economy Minister Bruno Le Maire’s office said in a texted statement on Saturday.
