If they were doing fine, then I could defend the multimillion salaries and bonuses.<BR/><BR/>BUT they haven't. They're now coming hat in hand to us, the American public for a bailout. And in this economy, where there are many people we know getting laid off, unable to pay mortgages and other tales of woe, to say that they should accept and take these multimillion bonuses is lunacy.<BR/><BR/>And really, as long as they're paying the loans off back to us, they should be able to live with these conditions, since they're not just answering to their investors, but the American people.Vivhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07143093739225121136noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6541804.post-69827034269630213602009-02-12T15:06:00.000-06:002009-02-12T15:06:00.000-06:00To be fair, at $500,000, you're going to have a pr...To be fair, at $500,000, you're going to have a problem acquiring and retaining top notch executive talent. Seriously. If you're among the best in the world, you can get millions of dollars and interesting work just about anywhere you want. So why work for less under strict and occasionally foolish government limits?<BR/><BR/>Of course, given that it's the "top notch" executive talent that got us into this clusterfuck, it's hard to feel much sympathy. The system is so profoundly broken that both the brilliant and the idiots ended up at that pay scale, and it's extremely difficult to distinguish between them.<BR/><BR/>On the up side, if you figure out how to distinguish between them, I am quite confident that there are brilliant people with great ideas to rescue these companies who are lower on the totem pole and would love to work for a "mere" $500,000. We just need to identify them.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6541804.post-34396797108014242132009-02-05T13:14:00.000-06:002009-02-05T13:14:00.000-06:00"If your salary could pay for my house two times o..."If your salary could pay for my house two times over, with cash to spare, you're a RICH MOTHERFUCKER."<BR/><BR/>I love you, you know.K.https://www.blogger.com/profile/10685935004988095531noreply@blogger.com
