Yes, but don't pretend that there wasn't an ulterior motive behind your post.

No, but your track record predicts that your views on such news would be "not so pleasant."

You're absolutely right....but you did anyway.

Fort Worth-based parent AMR Corporation said reduced flying will lead to job cuts at both American and its American Eagle subsidiary.

YES, CEO! more job cuts of course, why don';t you go to OPEC and negociate some special discount price for AA. Wouldn't that be more efficient? As much money as you earn, I think you should at least try.

Default Exxon Mobil shareholders vote against job split

http://www.treehugger.com/files/2006...generation.php
By JOHN PORRETTO
The Associated Press

Exxon Mobil Corp. chairman and CEO Rex Tillerson will retain both of those jobs at the world’s biggest publicly traded oil company.
A highly public, Rockefeller-led push to separate those two roles failed again Wednesday at the company’s annual shareholder meeting.

Stripping Tillerson of the chairman’s job in favor of an independent director was the main focus of the meeting. In the end, the measure got support of only 39.5 percent of shareholders, slightly less than last year’s 40 percent, despite a push by descendants of John D. Rockefeller, the founder of Exxon Mobil predecessor Standard Oil Corp.

Risk taking without reward creates an environment whereby nobody is willing to take risks. No risks taken, no business, no employers, no jobs, no money for the workers!!!

Risk taking is only part of the success for a business. It is not and should not be the only main factor for people to open a new business.

But that's all they do. They don't make the money -- their workers do that. They just have the money. That's all they do.

And I guess the money they have just grew on trees huh? No way they had to work for it from your perspective eh?


(by the way don't try the tired, inherited it bit, because less than 1% of all millionaires acquired wealth through inheritance, most of it was self made)

99.999% of all CEO's were at the bottom of the ladder at one point. The difference is that they were a) motivated, b) pushed themselves over the "norm," and c) strove to personal success.

Find me a CEO who got his job without working his way up to it.

Find me a CEO who ever whined about how much "the other guy" was making.

Find me a CEO who believes in any of the socialist ideas that the current democrats have.

I don't care what you call it...this whole thread is about one thing...jealousy.
