Business Title: Outsize Severance Continues for Executives, Even After Failed Tenures The golden goodbye has not gone away. 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.

This article is about Hewelitt Packard. I'm not trying to "penalize" you or anything. I was just curious.
#18. To: A K A Stone (#17) (Edited) I'm curious as to why you felt the need to post something that was nowhere near reality. A) I didn't bring Boofer into this thread and if you'd have actually read the thread then you'd know this. B) I didn't comment about Boofer until after he commented about himself. C) Why do I have to explain to you how your own website works? America...My Kind Of Place... "I truly am not that concerned about [bin Laden]..." "THE MILITIA IS COMING!!! THE MILITIA IS COMING!!!"

Is this you, Badeye? We were a multi-million-dollar-a-year business just 36 months ago ...now only a few months from bankruptcy...
Were you telling the truth now, or then? "You post articles- intellectual excrement, really- that support your inane, insipid mentality, on a regular basis. Capitalist Eric #31. To: lucysmom (#30) We were a multi-million-dollar-a-year business just 36 months ago ...now only a few months from bankruptcy... I'm telling the truth in both instances goofy. You honestly believe businessmen just 'stand pat'? Confronted by decreasing revenues, we adjusted accordingly, like EVERY COMPANY. We cut expenditures across the board, didn't replace a staffer that gave birth to her 2nd child and became a 'stay at home mom'. Would have preferred it to be otherwise, but in the failing Owe-bama economy, you do what you have to do. Are you really this stupid, or is this just an act? Honestly, I'm still laughing at your assertion making a profit is somehow a 'failure'. Sheesh. Proxy IP's are amusing.....lmao #32. To: Badeye (#31) I'm telling the truth in both instances goofy. Chuckles...a company "months away from bankruptcy" is NOT making money, asswipe. And anyone with a minimal sense of business understands that "revenue" does not equal "making money". This is why NO-ONE - except the Juniors and Peggys - will EVER take you seriously Boofer. replace a staffer that [sic] gave birth... In the TitsUp article, you claimed to have reduced your staff from 9 to 5. My question is: Did she have triplets? America...My Kind Of Place... "I truly am not that concerned about [bin Laden]..."

To: war (#37) In the "Boofer Rules For Business" the term "decreasing" does not mean contracting but expanding. Some Badeye wisdom on good tax cuts and useless tax cuts. 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? It doesn't make any sense!
"It they want to help people like me, they need to cut taxes across the board and get the venture capital back in the game," he said. "There's no incentive for small businesses to hire."

To: lucysmom (#41) "It they want to help people like me, they need to cut taxes across the board and get the venture capital back in the game," he said. "There's no incentive for small businesses to hire." This is the type of statement that is 100% pure Boofer Bullshit. it almost sounds as if he "knows" what he is "talking" about. 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. And capital formation isn't taxed at all. America...My Kind Of Place... "I truly am not that concerned about [bin Laden]..." "THE MILITIA IS COMING!!! THE MILITIA IS COMING!!!"

To: lucysmom (#45) High taxes, low taxes, people with money are always looking for stuff to invest in to make more money. Considering that the top tax rate in the 1950s was 90%, it should have been a horrible decade for jobs, according to the GOP. Curiously, it was just the opposite.
#49. To: war (#46) The tax code is very favorable to private capital formation. VERY favorable. Not good enough for the it's-government's-fault excuse for every failure crowd.
