I may not generally care for Whitacre and Seidenberg, but they earned their pay. Meanwhile, Notebaert and Forsee should have gotten nothing. It's funny how the boards always set performance standards that make it trivial for the executives to game the system and get huge bonuses. I'd love a job where I got a multimillion dollar bonus merely for being borderline competant. Supply and demand, though. There are only so many multibillion dollar corporations to go around . . .
