Just last week, Léo Apotheker was shown the door after a tumultuous 11-month run atop Hewlett-Packard. His reward? $13.2 million in cash and stock severance, in addition to a sign-on package worth about $10 million, according to a corporate filing on Thursday. At the end of August, Robert P. Kelly was handed severance worth $17.2 million in cash and stock when he was ousted as chief executive of Bank of New York Mellon after clashing with board members and senior managers. A few days later, Carol A. Bartz took home nearly $10 million from Yahoo after being fired from the troubled search giant. A hallmark of the gilded era of just a few short years ago, the eye-popping severance package continues to thrive in spite of the measures put in place in the wake of the financial crisis to crack down on excessive pay.

To: A K A Stone, Fred Mertz, Godwinson, go65, war, no gnu taxes, Skip Intro, ferret mike, jwpegler, mininggold, brian s, mcgowanjm (#0) Now comes Mr. Apotheker’s $13.2 million severance payout when the stock price was cut in half. That is made up of $7.2 million in cash, the ability to sell $3.6 million of restricted stock and a $2.4 million bonus. H.P., which paid $2.9 million to relocate Mr. Apotheker to California, will now pay to move him to Belgium or France and cover losses of up to $300,000 on the sale of his house. I would be willing to fail twice as good at half the price. How does one fail AND get paid a bonus?

To: All (#5) In other words while the pipeline nationwide for shadow inventory may be declining at a slow turtle like pace, little of this is happening in high priced markets with absurd levels of hidden inventory like in Beverly Hills or Culver City for example. Adding fuel to the fire, the incredibly high mortgage limits are set to expire which will keep the faux-bourgeoisie from buying their $1 million shack in a preferred zip code simply by going into massive debt. They will now need to come to the table with some solid cash and a respectable income. Realtors are bemoaning this and trying to fight tooth and nail to keep it in place because they realize how phony some of these buyers are in terms of their actual net worth. mcgowanjm  posted on  2011-10-02   9:59:07 ET  Reply   Trace   Private Reply   #7. To: lucysmom (#0) Most execs negotiate severance up front. I'm just a pissant in the Wall Street scheme of things but I have a severance clause in my contract that refers to another clause that, in essence, parses "rightful cause" down to a very narrow sense. I could fuck up a trade and cost the company $100K and that still wouldn't be considered rightful cause. Had the terms of the contract been carried out, these people probably would have made a lot more. I'm just trying to give some context. America...My Kind Of Place...

To: lucysmom (#4) Badeye, how does one fail and get paid a bonus? I'll ignore skippy's bullshit, and answer you honestly. I've NEVER understood that concept. How inthe world GM lost 6 billion dollars in one year, and gave the CEO at the time a bonus over 10 million for 'annual performance' simply staggers me. Thats why I thought bailing out GM via taxpayer money was absolute insanity, and was 100% against doing so. Same for the banks btw. Our government, led by Bush at the time, propped up failed business models. And eventually we will have to bail them out once again, if only because these business entities only learned one lesson. 'If we screw up, THEY think we're to Big to Fail!'. The precedent set should frighten then hell out of every taxpayer, irregardless of party affiliation. btw, we've never lost money here in my company. Which demonstrates skippy's ignorance.

The same thing goes for job creation, he explained, citing the government's offer of tax credits for companies that hire individuals who've been unemployed for some lengthy period of time. "Why on earth would I fill a job that's going to cost me $25,000 a year minimum to get a $6,000 tax credit and have a person sitting around with nothing to do because we don't have the business?

But when you examine the statement and its implications, it makes no fucking sense whatsoever. It's nothing but double-talk. VC's invest in viable business models. "Across the board tax cuts" have little to nothing to do with their investment decisions. I say little because investment income is taxed at a lower rate than "sweat of brow" income and most VC's are structured offshore or as "business trusts" so tax liability is really not much of a concern to them.
