CEOs and their bonuses

[Slapper]

Much has been said (although little publicized) about CEOs and their interests, about their decisions and their abilities. One thing I know is true: Their mega-payloads are no joke:

Richard Grasso, former chairman and CEO of the NYSE. After various years of getting "only" 10-15 million bonuses, working for a supposedly nonprofit organization mind you!, decides to give himself a one-time payout of $ 140 million dollars for doing nothing whatsoever.

Feel free to add on to the list.

john ashcroft... nice little golden parachute he set up... last act in power was hiring himself as a 'consultant' in the pvt sector the day he retired from justice dept.  Slick!

I'm not complaining about it, sure it's sickening to a point. Then it's cool at the same time.

if anyone was in that position to make that money and it didn't undermine their ethics. Then why not?? You would be a fool not to.

all the power to them if they can demand such a salary.

grasso managed the worlds most complex monetary system.  If you were as smart and shrewd as he is, you'd be making $140 million too.
