Did you ever wonder how you could make lots and lots of money by really fucking shit up? That’s easy. Obviously, being a banker is the number one choice. Not only does the tax payer bale out your rancid ponzi scheme when you’ve driven it into the ground making stupid bets on shit you obviously know fuck all about, but you get a humungous “retention bonus” to make sure you stick around so you can fuck things up even worse. Anyway, this particular rant was brought on by reading that HP’s CEO, Meg “I know baseball memorabilia” Whitman, got compensation of $15.4 million in 2012. This after missing the “performance” targets she agreed on at the beginning of the year. Share value dropped nearly 40% and shitloads of layoffs are in the pipeline, after all someone (guess who) has to make sacrifices!!! Can you imagine how much she would have got if she’d actually done her job. Never mind, when they finally dump her and hire the fiftieth new CEO in the last ten years, you know she’ll walk with a humungous golden parachute. ‘Cos that’s the way shit works now!
