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.
It happens all the time, period. It doesn't have to be "corporate America".
No, I am using "scamster" in a very broad way and you are just using it an
very narrow way.

Yada yada yada. Yes, I know all that. I said what he was going to be paid
was obscene, for pete's sake.
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.
