Take a look at this dreadful chart from BusinessInsider.com and see if you can figure out what it’s trying to say:

Top-10-salaries-at-google

Junk Charts has a much better representation of these data, when you check it out, it’ll become perfectly clear what this chart is trying to convey. And that, ladies and gentlemen, is the sign of a terrible, terrible chart.
