  How Microsoft evaluates execs
Time: 00:48 EST/05:48 GMT | News Source: Seattle Times | Posted By: Kenneth van Surksum

This trend is indeed interesting.

I suggest Robert Reich's book, "Supercapitalism", as a way to explain the board's behavior. Look for more companies to follow suit.

Waah Waah Waah. I feel NO pity for them.

Let them go out and get a real job, where you have to bust your ass for 5 years straight just to (maybe) get a 2% cola increase.

Waah.
