| Time to rework the CEO pay structure
I still don't understand why we pay these guys so much, just to lose money. The CEO's "bonuses", which typically account for more than 90% of their overall income, should be directly ties to the stock return. Nothing else. Investors own the company. Make money for the investors, you get paid more. Lose money, you get no "bonus".

| Well, the argument you are suggesting would be valid if I said CEO's shouldn't be paid as much, period. But I am not suggesting that. If, under their command, the company shows great returns, I see nothing wrong with paying them accordingly.
I just don't see the logic in paying a "bonus" to a guy who yields a loss on the stock.

Re: Time to rework the CEO pay structure
Normally the "bonus" structure is all laid out in advance. They are called a Bonus only for tax reasons, as the amount is set when they hire/negotiate with the induvidual.
So yeah, it's bad planning on the investors part to a degree, but it's not like they are voting to give some jerk-off a $39M bonus after he drops the stock return.

Re: Roberts isn't going anywhere
I bet you'll get the excuse that "you weren't scheduled for an install today".
That's what Charter did when i worked for them.

They really are just salary, named something else for the purpose of taxes. (another loophole that should be closed) |

It gets slightly old hearing a bunch of whiners complaining about 'Comcast this' or complaining about 'Comcast that'. I say get a life or get another provider. If you don't like Comcast find a dial-up in your area; now that will give you something to 'bitch' about.
This is technology and sometimes there are problems and CEO's of every mega-company get bonuses regardless of performance. To me it is a waste of money to spend $100 - $250 on a pair of Air Jordans when they do nothing but house your stinky ass feet. They don't make you jump higher nor make you look more appealing to the ladies 'ugly is ugly'.
That is my 2 cents and I'm sticking to it...  |

You mean you thought they'd actually show up when scheduled?
I think the Chicago Cubs have a better chance at winning the world series than for Comcrap to show on time, the first time!
