- Abstract
The balance of a wage decrease as a result of world economic regression and incentives to promote worker’s productivity has become a major problem most companies are faced with, especially during the epidemic seeping through 2020. This essay starts with analyzing the compensation plan of three companies in different industries, including Tesla representing the green energy car industry, Lyft representing online taxi service, and DoorDash representing takeaway company, to study the different ways of encouraging employees and directors in different industries. Among all three companies, a noticeable shift of compensation component from cash retainer to stock or option awards represents one of the incentives Tesla, Lyft, and DoorDash are implementing. However, the unstable or lower on average compensation may lead to other negative consequences such as cooperate conflicts or competitions.
