Recessions are nothing new for Procter & Gamble: The consumer goods giant was born in the midst of one, the Panic of 1837. The company's shares took a beating this year, though, and it has struggled to meet earnings expectations as consumers pull back on spending. While Lafley's pay package was enough to put him in the top-10 pantheon, his total compensation was down 5% from the prior year, according to Equilar's calculations.
