Default In the mean time, WaMu HR retooled compensation plans to ensure 3000 executives kept their bonuses..

Default In the end the top management seem to skip all the bad times in the economy.

They all seem to get bonus's and golden handshakes as the company goes under.

Default Home Depot just did the same thing to 2300+ store level HR managers via e-mail...

but don't worry, all 2300+ can re-apply for 1000 new district level positions...

Default Seriously.

I mean w/o the executives, where would we get all the Power Point presentations that show how much money they are saving by firing those 3,000 people?

And without executives there'd be no need for high end suit stores and BMW Dealerships.

Just think of the trickle effect on the economy if 3,000 execs were canned!

As it is now, Subway just got 3,000 new applications!

Default ORLY? I have friends selling a VERY nice place in Maui. I could get you a commission!

It's 4 beds, 3600 sqft, pool, 180 degree view, fancy everything. Asking price is $2.7MM. I'm serious about teh commission if that's in his price range.
