Vox Populi – We’re Listening to You For years, I’ve been writing a column called Compensation in Context—and if we’re being honest, it hasn’t been about compensation for quite a while now. It started with executive pay. It wandered into governance, taxes, incentives, metrics, and accountability. But then something shifted. The world got louder. The spin got bolder. And our readers? They kept writing in—by the hundreds, then thousands. They didn’t want spreadsheets. They wanted sanity. They didn’t need equity dilution curves. They needed someone to call out the emperor’s lack of clothes—and maybe crack a smile doing it. That’s when I realized: Compensation in Context wasn’t about pay anymore. It was about truth. Satire. Outrage. Laughter. The deep ache of watching systems crack—and the stubborn hope that we can still fix them. So, we’re doing something bold. Something overdue. We’re changing the name. Starting with our next edition, Compensation in Context becomes Vox Populi - The Voice of the People. Why? Because that’s who we write for now. That’s who we’ve always written for. You. The readers. The reformers. The quiet screamers. The ones who forward the newsletter to a friend with the words, “Read this. This is what I’ve been trying to say.” You’ve spoken. We’ve heard you. And now we speak with you—not just to you. This is your space now. This is your voice. And I’m honored to be holding the microphone. Vox Populi will still have the bite, the wit, and the wild-eyed honesty you’ve come to expect. But now, it’s bigger. Broader. Deeper. It’s about the systems that need fixing and the courage it takes to speak up. It’s about accountability with a soul. Compassion with a backbone. And truth without an apology. I’ve said this before, and I’ll say it again: I am not afraid to say what needs to be said. And Sports Fans - neither are you. We are the grownups in the room. The truth-tellers. The wisecrackers with calloused hands and tired eyes who still believe that reality matters—and that it can be beautiful again. So, to all of you who’ve written in, challenged me, shared your stories, and said, “Thank you for saying it out loud,” this next chapter is for you. Because this time, we’re all writing it together. Vox Populi. We’re not just listening - We’re answering FBG
