Probably because everyone bitched and moaned about how much cash he was getting paid, so they drastically cut his cash comp and forced him to get stock instead, all to satisfy the activist types, and then the company did really well one year and the stock price went up and so he gets a big one time gain for his built up equity awards, yet another example of the law of unintended consequences striking the field of corporate activism.

Slopey, it doesn’t surprise me in the least that one of your most useful and memorable courses was one in Sociology. Sociological theory practically emanates from your pores. Your thinking, and thoughtful posits of it, is a beautiful thing to watch 🙂
dibs – Would you have been a proctologist?

But that’s just a guess.
it’s psychology’s retarded sister.

My diagnosis is Rob is suffering from master baiting envy and is now trying to catch up to Lech.

Come to think of it, I actually don’t even know what sociology is. I’ll google it later.
