<I hope you don't believe that. There's no other way to explain the ridiculous amounts of money executives (in the U.S. in particular) pay themselves, and the ludicrously generous and lowballing options grants they award themselves.> Neil, Hehe, everybody cries about how much high level executives make but when the rubber hits the road what happens? The executives put line items on the shareholder dockets for large bonuses or pay raises and the shareholders always vote yes. Isn't Hector up for a pay related vote? How much do you want to bet that it passes? If it does ask yourself who were the people voting yes to the item. Regards, Epinephrine PS: Dont distract Scumbria, I want him to answer my question since he seems to think that if he were in IBM's shoes he would have handled things differently, I would like to hear how he would indeed differ.
