Execs who should give back bonuses

these guys will not give back the money because they are crooks, they planed the whole thing knowing they would get money for nothing.  This is the new American way that is in part why we are going down the drain and will keep going till their is no longer an America.  It is all about the money, be it business or government.  Take as much as you can and do nothing for it.

My CEO should give back his bonus.  Most CEOs in today's corporate world also should.  Every dollar that ends up in an executive's pocket should directly reflect the job they did and the money they have made for the company and stock holders.  It is beyond obscene the millions executives get for even doing a horrible job.  It all comes down to who you know today and the "buddy-buddy system".  It is all just disgraceful.

Besides returning any monies, there ought to be some jail time involved! And not just a couple days!

You have to be joking?  Right?  Maybe more on the wishful thinking side?  Anyone who get's that kind of money for doing what those people mentioned did for it are not going to willingly give it back any time soon.  Most crooks do not ever willingly return what they stole do they?  At least their names are now out in public view for the deeds they have done.

While you're at naming names, how about naming some politicians who did about the same thing?  The list could be endless on how many do so little for so much money?  It may do more good than the other?

"Why do these people get huge bonus's "

 

Why do althletes make the money they do for playing games?

 

Because they can and because somebody is willing to pay it.

 

Often it really doesn't matter what kind of year their companies have, or in the case

of athletes what kind of year they and their team have because they have long term

contracts with a great deal of guaranteed money no matter how they perform

 

Also most CEO's have golden parachutes when they leave no matter what kind of

job they have done.

 

 

 

 

Why don't we just outsource the boards. They've already done it to all their other minions.

Imagine, we can Hire Ishboo from India pay him 20 dollars a month.  Don't need to fly him/her in, just mail a computer to him and Ishboo can skype his way to office.  By firing the CEO we can save up to 231 times the amount it costs just to fire one employee.


Not to worry about diminishing demand.
You'll [Investor] be dead by the time no one can buy stuff from the company but you. 

Giving an exec a bonus tied to good company performance is one thing, these bonuses are way out of line and everyone knows that. It is the fact that they can get away with it!

I know an executive that should return a Peace Prize!

EVERY GOD*****D ONE OF THEM!!!

If it were up to the average stockholder, the bonus/golden parachute would/should be tied to performance, and not performance for a quarter or two.  How about performance 36 months later, when true economic decisions have an opportunity to become effective?  Any moron can cut expenses and show a great profit for a quarter or two (CITI??), and then roll out with a big bonus.  The true test of these "cost saving measures" comes after the edicts have been in place long enough to determine if they truly are effective, or just a way to squeeze out an extra million or two in bonus money, just before one of the scumbags jumps ship, leaving the fallout to the next schmuck.  And, it's the Board Members of these companies that create these lucrative deals.  Ultimately, there is a "good ol' boy" network among the boards of these big companies, and no one wants to rock the boat; there's just way too much money involved.  Look at our Congress... nothing is going to change there, because those that have the power make the rules.
