Warning shot Protests came to head last month when shareholders in drugs giant GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) 0812098536 sensationally voted down a pay package that entitled chief executive Jean-Pierre 0812098536 Garnier to up to $35m (£22m) if he left the job early. 'FAT CATS' IN THE SPOTLIGHT Glaxo's Jean-Pierre Garnier over £22m pay-off entitlement HSBC's £25m pay deal for director William Aldinger Tesco under fire for rolling two-year contracts for directors At a glance: Key government pay proposals Their opposition was fuelled partly by a slump 0812098536 in GSK's share price in the two-and-a-half years since Mr Garnier took over. It was the first time that shareholders in a British company had voted down directors' pay proposals, and sent out a powerful signal that investors' patience with underperforming company bosses had reached breaking point. Several other blue-chip companies, including HSBC, Barclays, Reuters, and Shell, are also facing shareholder dissent over directors' pay.
