In any case, I certainly agree that there should be a stronger oversight of when CEOs and other executives get a bonus. It's just an outrage to see people who failed so obviously nonetheless take away millions of dollars.Frederik Sisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15963689819495851315noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7233606805709071194.post-36289439544717694082009-03-25T15:30:00.000-07:002009-03-25T15:30:00.000-07:00I've of course heard of the bounus thing going on ...I've of course heard of the bounus thing going on over there in the US, though it's a big hazy as to what exactly is going on. Personally I wouldn't trust a CEO letter, they're just as bad as politicians when it comes to BS. Here in Australia the government has changed the law regarding CEO bonuses by leaving it up to the shareholders if they feel the CEO deserves the bonus or not if it exceeds a certain amount. (I can't remember the exact clause) but I think it's a step in a the right direction. Making the CEO accountable for his bounus or golden handshake. I like it, I really do. Maybe the US should look into that.Nickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04395335021890447112noreply@blogger.com
