Kind of like Fiorina who was fired after building up HP with less employees.

The Dill’s Act did not create the SEIU.

You have some principled friend there if he’s so sure he’d turn down $120M. Why am I skeptical? Maybe because talk is cheap? Not to mention it’s been noted that she was gone from eBay before the layoffs.

But by all means, stand by your principles and deal with Gov. Brown for the next four years. Just let’s not hear any complaining. He was CA gov when I lived there 30+ years ago. Wouldn’t even consider going thru it again.

Any suggestions on what to tell him?

No. If he doesn't understand that the layoffs probably saved a lot more jobs, he would never get it.

He doesn't sound very smart.

You might tell him that he should vote for her and give her a BIG pay cut. LOL!

I don't have to ask him that question. I already know the answer. If my bonus was $120 million and I was already very well off and I knew 10 percent of the workforce was going to be laid off, I would not take the bonus. Do you have a better answer than that? The one you offered is not going to work.

Obviously your friend is just looking for an excuse to vote for Brown. He can't actually come up with a reason to vote FOR Brown, so he's coming up with some lame reason to vote AGAINST Whitman. Does your friend even understand how business works? If she could make the company more efficient, that means more money for the shareholders. She should have got a bonus if that is what she did! Ask your friend this...would you vote for a governor that could improve the state government efficiency despite cutting the government payroll by 10%? He's a moron if he wouldn't. If he would, then obviously he should vote for Whitman.

“He doesn’t want Brown, and he likely won’t vote for Whitman...”

So, what does he think he’ll get???

Jerry Brown created the unions and their pension mess back in 1978.

I wouldn't take it either. I guess it is a matter of principle. Now, that is conditioned on the fact that for several years I would have been making $750,000 a year and banking it.

We have a serious problem in this country when people don't see something wrong in that bonus. It leads to candidates like Brown. I'd say if you don't want Brown (and worse), a few more pricipled people is in order.

Actions have consequences.

The first thing out of his mouth is going to be, “She should not have accepted it.”

You are not helping me. Is the ad that is running true? If not, tell me.


Whether it’s true or not is immaterial. I’ve had a business for many years and some years I laid people off and other years I hired people. What I made in those years was not a choice between ‘Do I take the money home as profit or pay it out as wages?” The employment decisions are made based on how much work there is and whether more employees are needed to maximize profit for the business. If there are too many employees, the business does poorly and all of the employees are put at risk. That’s called management. Under your friend’s criteria, no one that has managed a business would be able to run for public office.

No, that is not true. That is a false assumption on your part.

Nice, I see you’ve calmed down to lowercase levels. I read it, and you were still going off half cocked, what lie?

Tell your friends that Brown created the Unions and their Pension mess in 1978.
http://www.foxandhoundsdaily.com/blog/joel-fox/6729-pension-bomb-explodes-jerry-brown%E2%80%99s-feet

Also inform them that Jerry has been working for years to KILL Prop 13 another GOOD thing that was created in 1978.

It's either that, or he's a bleeding heart liberal moron. I was trying to give him the benefit of the doubt. I still think that even if you could prove that Whitman did not take a bonus when 10% of eBay was laid off, he would simply find some other reason to not vote for her. Again, ask him ISN'T THAT EXACTLY WHAT YOU WANT THE GOVERNOR TO DO? CUT WASTE? CUT SPENDING? If you can do that in the private sector, you SHOULD get a bonus. And if you can do that in the public sector, you should elected. Period.

Well, my gut reaction is that cops are bureaucrats and tax collectors with guns, but that isn’t really fair. Botom line for me is that I don’t want to work until I’m 70 so a cop can retire at 50 and live off a fat pension in Idaho. If a 401k is good enough for the private sector, give them to all the unions, exempting no one. The economic state of CA is disastrous and no one should get off with untouched benefits, even the police.

MAYBE you are naive.

Again, Brown is a liar and fraud and not Whitman.

You were inferring Brown was interested in solving the UNION pension mess along with the Environ wacko mess. Brown is the SEIU, Cal Nurses Union ,and all the radical union front man . They are spending millions to get him elected . He created the UNION mess back in 1978.

It’s as I suspected. I don’t know of any ceo who can
set their salary, and I don’t know of any who is paid
a $120 million salary, even with bonuses. Too many
times when one hears of a ceo making millions of dollars,
you don’t hear that part of that is based on stock options.

Options tend to come with an expiration date, and
if Whitman was quitting, then she might have had to sell
her options that had vested. The company did well when
she was ceo, seems to me she earned the profits she made
off those options.
