New CEOs for Adelphia by ScYcS Wednesday 08-Jan-2003 » www.nytimes.com/2003/01/08/busin···=GOOGLEAdelphia Communications, the cable company laid low by the excesses of its founding family, is negotiating to hire the former top executives of AT&T Broadband to bring it out of bankruptcy. And they could enjoy an exceptionally big payday for doing it. If the terms of the employment contracts are approved at a board meeting today, Adelphia could wind up paying almost $65 million over two years to the two men, William T. Schleyer and Ronald Cooper. Mr. Schleyer's package alone could be worth nearly twice the $20 million over three years that was recently awarded to Michael D. Capellas, the new chief executive of WorldCom, which entered bankruptcy listing assets four times those of Adelphia when it collapsed.

 cbyrdWhere's The Any Key? join:2001-07-11 Murfreesboro, NC | Rocky Mountain High? A repost of a related note I mentioned in the forum before the coffee kicked in:
Rumors have been flying around for months now that Adelphia was considering relocating their headquarters to the Denver area due to the large pool of ex-AT&T talent left there after AT&T left Denver. Until now there hasn't been much in the way of official news, but according to an article in the Rocky Mountain News, it's all but a done deal.
Adelphia has been courting former AT&T exec Bill Schleyer for the CEO position, but Schleyer insists the company relocate to Denver as a condition of accepting the position.
The article goes on to state that as many as 50% of the current jobs in Coudersport could be relocated to Denver if the deal goes through.
The Adelphia board is expected to make a decision this week.

 | | WoW! Say goodbye to the current workforce and pay someone 30 million for doing it.
What I wonder is if the current 'underlings' would be replaced as well... those middle managers that were onboard when things went bad. | |
|  |  cpr2kThis Won'T Hurt..Premium join:2002-02-02 San Marcos, CA | Re: WoW! I was both encouraged and disappointed at some of these early details. I know it's hard to get an experienced team into a bankruptcy situation to turn things around.. but.. I believe the fees and payments should be more back loaded based on success. 'If' they turn it around, they will have earned significant compensation. High risk, success, high reward is a perfectly reasonable approach. I think they're getting way too much up front, especially for two guys who, though experienced in the industry, have no turn around experience.
Moving headquarters can be both a blessing and a curse. The blessing is that it may be a lot easier to remove the "current underlings" and "middle managers" that need to be replaced. The curse is that there will be a lot of good people that the company will need that can't or won't make the move.
All this is speculation of course until final decisions are announced. This kind of preliminary announcement can reek havoc with the troops and the rumor mill will run wild. I wish all the best.

I know many of you don't think that the industry standard salary is appropriate or that the incentives are reasonable. Market value of the talent sets the compensation levels.

|  |  |  |  cpr2kThis Won'T Hurt..Premium join:2002-02-02 San Marcos, CA | Re: Greed Let me give you a hypothetical example and see what you think.
Let's say that a guy that had committed his life to healing the critically ill came up with an idea that could save them. Let's say there is a disease that's killing 1000 people a day. Let's say it cost the US $17B dollars a year to treat these people that are dying. Let's say this guy put his personal savings and those of his family at risk to develop this idea and it turns out it works. Let's say that the technology from that idea sells for $3,000 per treatment.
Does the guy that invented this technology deserve 10% ($300) for every one that's sold? Let's say the company that was formed (and employs about 45 people) can sell 1000 of these devices a month. Does the guy that came up with the idea earn $300k a month? Let's say the guy, after putting himself through medical training (working two jobs) goes back and puts himself through business school. Let's say he gets hired as COO. Does this guy deserve the going rate for what a COO gets for running a company that makes products that he invented that saves people's lives?

"You just don't live in the real world, your world sounds like one of money, power and high priced desires. Have you ever been poor? unemployed? without food? had to live on a budget?"
When I was in a situation back in 1991-1992, I realised I had a shattered roof over my head, Ripped up camoflague fatigues, 2 canteens of water, 2 mre's and 6 full magazines.
Unlike some, I realise money means little to shit in 'the real world'.
The problem with a lot of the high priced people these days is they LIVE for a pricetag. Is a Quarterback in the NFL worth some 3+ Million a year while some cop is out there protecting our cities? Or a fireman running into blazing buildings and saving our friends and families? What about our servicemen? As an NCO, I made 1100$ a month! Was less then minimum wage in my home state!
We each have different perspectives in the way we look at things. Whats worth more.. That 3million dollar a year quarterback or the 20cent .308 round I could put into Binladens head at 1200yards?
"Do you look down on your employees and think because you are the CEO, that you are some sort of God? "
Its not just the CEO. Its us on the bottom as well. We all subscribe and thithe/pay homage to vanity. We all want our broadband, our SUV's, Flat screen HD TV's... We make it so these companies can afford to pay those cats their 'due'. Even if they don't deserve it or are even close to being worth 1/10th of it.
"I stick by my idea that no man is worth that much money, too many going without in the world to do such things and have a clear conscious, at least in my belief system."
I support your belief system.. the problem is.. our own 'wants' help those get to where they are.
"I hate to break it to you, but you are in the minority of people in this country, and the world."
Not really. Too many people are 'All about gettin mine.. to hell with the next person'. Greed is in EVERYONE.. You and I as well. We both have wants. We might not want what that Quarterback or CEO is getting, but we might be a tad bit enviouse of what they do have.
I need to add something from your first post...
"So when do these companies start paying the guys down in the pits what they deserve? "
To be honest.. I think Adelphia has been QUITE generouse in what they pay. I sometimes believe they have overpaid us and helped contribute to their own financial disaster.
I cant post what Adelphia pays. I can say in most cases, its better then double the states minimum wage. They offer cola and bonus programs as well. Its NOT at all shabby. I drive quite a nice truck. Its a 99 and its paid off. I have an 03 on order.. I have my vanity as well ( I love my trucks ). I know a lot of people that have never been able to afford a new vehical..

What people sometimes forget is that those who have professional success work very hard for it. Like you, I served my country. My experience was as a combat corpsman doing SAR for the Air Force in Vietnam. My drive and ambition when I was discharged was not simply to make money, but to grow my medical skills. As it turned out, my efforts produced skills that have value. As my career blossomed, in addition to my regular responsibilities, I donated my time and talent to provide care to those who could not pay. I continue to donate time and money to those less fortunate. I will not apologize for my success. I worked hard, took risks and produced "value". I think there is a tendency by some to resent successful people. There are those for whom it's easier to tear down someone than to build up oneself. It's easy to say successful people had it all given to them or they didn't earn it or they don't deserve it. The beauty and wonder of the American way and the American dream is that it is available to everyone. It is the drive, risk, success and reward that make the American system work. Free market forces provide the checks and balances. Sure it's messy and not always equitable, but for the most part it works very well. Clearly it works better than any other system in the world.
Wealth (capitol) is not created out of thin air. It is created by those who dream and who work hard to make their dream a reality. As a consequence, jobs are created. As a consequence, charities can be supported. As a consequence, opportunities are provided to others. Money isn't the goal, it's the byproduct of hard work and a tool to be used to benefit yourself and others. -- No good deed goes unpunished.. | |

"Myself, Mac and Hob havent a Clue on how to properly run the Bussiness side of Adelphia."
Agreed. Not even worth thinking about, This is not a Mom and Pops ISP or a local town Community Antena farm we are talking about here. This is a multi Billion Dollar industry, a company that serves millions. The people at the top have to be some of the best in the field.
"I do NOT think anyone is worth the 60 Million thats feesable for these 2 gentleman to attaine. As long as I'm not willing to step up to that plate, I shouldn't bitch or complain about it."
I disagree completely. The Gentleman's basic wage looks to be about the industry standard. The figures that everyone has jumped on are only attainable if the companies value reaches certain amounts. As CPR2k pointed out the percentage of what they receive is miniscule compared to the total value. One point that has not surfaced during these discussions is that if Adelphia decided to sell off areas of their franchise this would reduce the value of the company and thus impact the bonus payments. Thats a strong incentive to keep the company together.
"What really surprises myself and others is Erkie is a banker ( Interm CEO ). He knows the numbers and the routines.. why doesn't he just step up to the plate and work things out instead of going outside the company?"
It does not surprise me at all. He has stated publicly that he wanted to find someone who knew about cable operations, that he was retired and did not want to take on a task like this at this stage of his life. I would assume he will stay on the board. This company does not need a banker at the helm, it needs people with experience of running a large cable ship. A new broom sweeps clean, people have already associated Erkie with the old management, it needs a fresh start.

Hob got it just right. In order for investors to begin to regain confidence in the company, new management will need to have industry specific experience. The money guys (with the sharp pencils and green visors) are very necessary and will have a say in how things unfold. But the CEO and OPs have to understand the business. Notice that the CEO brought his own COO with him. I've mentioned before that OPs is where the game is won or lost. Clearly the new CEO has an experienced operations guy he trusts and respects. This sort of relationship between the two key players in a company is critical to success. Hob was also correct in pointing out the broom sweeping clean. Even if it's only psychological, when a turn around takes place, replacing senior management is an important step in regaining the confidence of investors and staff.
There are actual formulae used to decide what a turn around specialist gets. It's typically based on the value of the asset as risk and to be regained. Adelphia is an enormous business which is what makes the stakes so high. It's also what makes the compensation high. It's all relative and proportional. -- No good deed goes unpunished.. | |

Some valid points... psychological... old "crew" on board still (they know who they are)....etc.
But, $60 million IS 60 million. Industry Standard or not!
I would say NO more than $5 million for each at the start. Then every Quarter (AFTER THEY SHOW NOTICEABLE IMPROVEMENT) they can see more cash and/or stock (what.. they won't take stock? Then I'm very skeptical).
Like any other option... SOME monies up front.. to get the "show" started.. the usually some in the "middle" then balloon payment at the end (or equal amount spread out).
Adelphia.. sounds like they need a good "agent" ;-D
