Good to get your prospective.
I was lucky at Lincoln, they gave me exposure to leaders. One of them was a former leader.
We had a CEO at Lincoln I liked. Older guy. Ian Rolland. Was an actuary, worked his way up through the company. Made some pretty awful mistakes and had some pretty great successes.
What he had, which I think is missing is a sense of honor.
Ian was the CEO for 20 years. He never made nearly as much in those 20 years as his successor made in 5. He thought compensation might be a problem. He took less risks and educated himself more when he took them because he knew if he failed it was his ass and his family in trouble.
I openly wonder if giving someone that much compensation makes them more prone to take higher risks. It is an argument for the shareholders.
You want to turn it around? get rid of all the government rules and regulations and let the private sector take care of it's ****in' self!
But noOOOOOOOOOOOO, we can't do that because according to guys like you, they're out to **** us!
I've got news for you "progressives", government interference has given corporate employees the backdoor in order to corrupt the system. If it weren't for red tape, most of these hosers would have been caught immediately if not sooner! They use the endless paperwork to hide their corruption!
You say you worked for Anderson/Cooper? Tell me they weren't privy to information that could have salvaged part of Enron! If you do, you're a damn liar! Were ya in on the shredding of documents, too?
Do ya feel good about bein' part of the "corporate cocksuckers",
( as you insinuate ), that screwed the Enron employees outa their retirement?
