Microsoft's board of directors is holding top management to a higher standard, and in key areas such as Internet search share and customer satisfaction, the company's performance last year fell short of expectations.
As a result, four executives got no more than half as much stock as they would have if the company had met or exceeded all of its goals, according to a regulatory filing Friday.
The Microsoft proxy filing provided a detailed look at how the board evaluates company leaders and motivates them with company stock.

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.
