And I am sure they get something out of it, otherwise what would be the reason? I cannot wait until I can run a company badly and get rewarded for it. Its like the guy at Exxon – $400 million dollar severance package for doing crappy at his job. Amazing.

Let’s say the average worker makes $20K … that means that Scott made about 2,000 times as much as them. Obviously, he must be worth 2,000 employees by himself! He works 2,000 times harder, and produces 2,000 times as much work, as the average worker. In fact, the next time Wal-Mart has to make cuts, I suggest they fire 2,000 employees and just let Scott handle the 20-30 empty, employee-less stores. He’s a dynamo. He can handle that kind of workload. Obviously, he must be able to do that with that kind of salary and bonus.

I bet the board gets a kickback from Scott for awarding him that bonus.

It is sick, and upside down. The more he squeezes people – suppliers, staff, customers, the more profit he makes, and the bigger bonus he gets. That’s a great motivation huh?
