As far as I'm concerned, they should give themselves a raise.

(It'll hasten their demise.)

[afortiori]

It's not like they can attribute their compensation to good performance on behalf of the sharholders.

Funny how socialists act when it is THIER OWN MONEY...

“It’s unfortunate to see this kind of excessive compensation in the top ranks of the Times company at a time when dedicated, longtime Globe employees are seeing their jobs shipped overseas,” ...

Arthur Sulzberger Jr. is a real Horatio Alger story. He started as a copyboy in the newsroom and was able to rise to the position of publisher of one of the world's greatest newspapers!

Question: Did the NYT and their toady papers give big press to Hitlery's blast of Halliburton's relocation overseas? And now the NYT organization is outsourcing to India? While execs at the top of this dying dinosaur rake in big bucks?

Where's the NTY op-ed blasting themselves for engaging in this "callous corporate greed?"

It also helped that Pinch was the grandson who inherited voting stock...when others held the non-voting stock.

I think I've heard this story before

“It’s unfortunate to see this kind of excessive compensation in the top ranks of the Times company at a time when dedicated, longtime Globe employees are seeing their jobs shipped overseas,” Dan Totten, president of Boston Newspaper Guild representing more than 1,000 Globe employees, said in a statement.

For any other industry or company, this would be Old Grey Whore's editorial opinion. Once again, hypocrisy, thy name is New York Times.

[popdonnelly]

I don't care what happens to the Times.

Did you not know Pinch was voted Most Likely To Succeed.....in pre-school.

Hopefully the Gay Pervert, Pinch and whatever Janet Robinson is, will double or triple their salaries several times in the next few years. That will hasten the demise of this vile chain of dinosaur fishwraps.

The dinosaur fishwrap NY Slimes execs are used to the taste of the blood of their fired employees. So future staff firings will be easier, come faster and will serve as punishment, whenever bad results are reported.

The Ny Slimes execs/high priests and priestesses will become even more blood thirsty. Pinch and Robinson will gladly become more Aztec in their dealings with their underlings. They will use more human sacrifices/firings to appease the evil Gods of the business world.

Pinch, Robinson and the other Ny Slimes top management know there is no place for them to run to for a big paycheck. So they will gladly sacrifice those under them to stay employed until they too are sacrificed.

Now every NY Slimes employee is just one personality conflict away from being sacrificed to the Fishwrap Gods, er, fired.

That's not a lot of money considering the size of the company, but it's a woeful ROI.

[Jhensy]

Somebody find those NYT editorials decrying executive pay. They're out there.

This reminds me of our 'friend' Marty...

To the staff:

I’d like to apologize for being out of town and unable to speak with you personally about today’s announcement regarding the reduction in staff...

We will talk more next week when I return.

[sappy]

We need congressional hearings RIGHT NOW. LOL

Michael Golden, publisher of the International Herald Tribune in Paris and a cousin of Sulzberger, received over $1.6 million in compensation, including $31,202 for his spouse’s travel between New York and Paris, the proxy said.

Let's be fair, here. First class airfare across the Atlantic isn't cheap. Wouldn't want her to be traveling in coach with the rest of us cattle, now would we? Isn't fitting for someone of her station.

[george76]

$31,202 for his spouse’s travel between New York and Paris...

Is that one trip or several trips ?
