Three years? Why three? Why not seven or two or five? Why not six months?
Most of your arguments appear to be more emotional than rational. I'm sorry if you feel you got screwed over, but I'm hearing more pride and ego than any attempt at rational thought.
I agree that some CEO's are taking advantage of their positions, but all of the things you suggest are what we should be doing, not what we are legally bound to do. The law is not about making people feel good about themselves, but rather a minimum protection for society as a whole.
To make the kind of changes you imply are necessary requires a fundamental shift in human nature that takes decades, eons even.

When it comes down to it, I don't particularly like major corporations either. I'm much more inclined to enjoy working for a small company where you can get to know the people you work with. The view of a company as family might be pushing it, but you should at least be able to know SOMETHING about the stockboy AND the CEO. But I refuse to paint all big companies with the same black brush. We need the big fish, too, so that the small fish have something to aspire to be.
