I thought you worked in corporate America? I would think you know the
kind of people I'm talking about? They are an elitist crowd who think
little of screwing the public. I've rubbed elbows with them so this is
no idle speculation. At the company I worked at the CEO brought in a
college buddy of his for a senior level position but the guy didn't know
shit about what he was doing. This happens all the time in corporate
America.
No, I am using "scamster" in a very broad way and you are just using it
an very narrow way.

But you called the dude a "scamster" as if he had somehow managed to
defraud Yahoo, which is not the case. Marissa Mayer flubbed another
dub when she hired him and then had to fire him after only 15 months.
It was her poor judgment as to his capabilities that cost Yahoo such a
ridiculous sum.
Picky, picky. You get what I mean. Beside where was the Yahoo Board
of Directors when they granted such compensation? What about the
stockholders? Judy, you should damn well know this is an "old boys
and girls" club. My point is NOBODY is worth such compensation.
NOBODY is that good. NOBODY is that special. And there are certainly
execs who have been granted even more. We are back to some medieval
style times of "landed gentry."
Fuck the landed gentry.

How are you defining "scam"? He may not deserve the compensation, but
he's entitled to it per his hiring agreement with Yahoo. Yahoo
offered him the gig; he didn't twist their arms to get it, let alone
do anything unethical. If Mayer wanted to tempt him to leave Google
that badly, and he turned out not to be capable of doing what she
envisioned, that's her poor judgment, not a scam on his part.
And it may not be as much as $109 million. That's the /most/ he would
get, assuming he was fired "without cause," and if he met all his
performance targets, both of which are yet to be determined.
Yes, whatever he gets will be obscene, but it's not fair to accuse
him of wrongdoing.
I guess we all missed the Scamming 101 classes in college? When did
they start teaching them? Think about what FFL could look like if they
spent the money on Yahoo Groups than paying this scamster off.

Once again no human being so good that they deserve such compensation.
Business is nothing but a poker game.
