[citation][nom]theoutbound[/nom]I wonder how far this will drop Larry Ellison's approval rating among his employees?[/citation]
Fortunately for people as high up as him, nobody else's opinion (off the board of Directors anyway) matters. He still collects his ridiculously over sized salary for spending most days playing golf, and on the days he actually works, he fires people. I actually say some douche on MSNBC business channel talking about how America should give an award to the CEO who manages the largest salary during the year. As if making stupidly large sums of money isn't rewarding enough. This during a discussion of how the CEOs that fire the most people also seem to be paid the highest; on that list Mark Turd was #3 IIRC. Mark was getting somethink like 24,000,000 a year to run HP. That is equivalent to roughly 500 people @ $48,000/yr which is a good salary. ***WTF*** DOES HE DO THAT IS WORTH THE WORK 500 OTHER HARD WORKING PEOPLE CAN DO FOR THE SAME MONEY? This isn't capitalism, it's plutarchy. Feels like freaking 1910 around here. All we need are cops beating labors on strike, and we'll be all set.
