“FReepRegards”
That’s an interesting thing to say from a relative n00b.
1035rep’s link proved you wrong, too.
“No matter what accounting method one uses, however, it is wrong to say Whitman “paid herself” any of those amounts. Her compensation was approved by eBay’s governing board.”
I don’t think you are as ill educated as your posts would lead us to believe.
That was a useful link and very informative.
I'm having a little difficulty with your reasoning though. She accepted the bonus, right? I guess my morals are different that yours. Accepting something you know you should not have is a wrong as taking it yourself.
STATEMENT FROM WHITMAN: "I was offered $120 million by the board of directors at a time I knew the company was in financial trouble and was planning to lay off many employees. I could not in good conscience accept the bonus and so advised the board of directors."
