Unfortunately people are greedy. I don't think there's a generous salary that would cause them to not want more. They could be making $50M a year, and they would still want more.

I don't know what the solution would be, perhaps your suggestion isn't too bad and a good start.

The point is that you give them a generous salary and take it away if they misbehave. Every carrot is a stick in waiting.

$225k/yr plus healthcare and pension for a part time job is a generous salary!

They also get speaking fees, book sales, etc.

The only thing you really can do is limit their power.
