Disney reveals enormous $38M pay package for new CEO Josh D’Amaro

D’Amaro, the head of Disney theme parks, will earn an annual base salary of $2.5 million as well as a one-time bonus of $9.75 million once he takes over the helm, according to SEC filings.

Each year that D’Amaro serves as CEO, he will receive a long-term stock incentive of $26.2 million as well as an annual bonus of 250% of his base salary on the condition that he meets certain performance goals.

*** end quote ***

Sorry, but I don’t believe that ANY C level of anything should be paid more than the President.

It’s “unseemly” and well as an insult to any wage slave.

AT BEST, the CEO should receive any “excessive compensation” (i.e., more than the President of the USA) in the form on non-transferable corporate bonds or corporate shares laddered over say 50 years.  Gone are the days when we should allow the “managerial class” to rob the corporation and shareholders of their wealth by pursuing short-range plans to jack up the stock price and leave with tremendous windfalls while the corporation spirals into bankruptcy!  Leaving the stockholders and stakeholders (i.e., employees; suppliers; related businesses) holding the “bag” of the corporation’s losses.  Thinking specifically of GM that got a Gooferment bailout and everyone else involved get screwed.

So, since “corporations” are a creation of the Gooferment, and sometimes treated like real people, it seems reasonable that there should be some ground rules about what they can and can not do.  In addition to compensation restrictions, I don’t think that they should be able to contribute money to anything but dividend to their shareholders.  

I’m tired of playing in a rigged game.

POLITICAL: CBS is an arm of the DNC

Ex-CBS News reporter says there’s ‘precedent’ for releasing full interview transcript — when it came to Donald Trump

CBS News remained mum Wednesday amid mounting pressure to release the full transcript of Kamala Harris’ interview with “60 Minutes” — even as a former correspondent said there’s “precedent” for the network doing so when it came to Donald Trump.

Ex-CBS News reporter Catherine Herridge — who was laid off earlier this year as she investigated the Hunter Biden laptop scandal — said the network released the full, unedited transcript of her interview with Trump when he was president in 2020.

The Republican presidential candidate has demanded CBS News publish the full interview with Harris after accusations that the Tiffany Network edited her “word salad” answers during the sit-down with Bill Whitaker.

“As Trump campaign calls on @60Minutes to release ‘full, unedited transcript’ of Kamala Harris interview… There is precedent,” Herridge posted on X on Wednesday.

This demonstrates once again, like in the Hunter Biden laptop story, CBS and the rest of the corporate media is an arm of the Obama DNC.

Walter Cronkite, who was a shill too, at least pretended to be fair and balanced.

Argh!

No wonder the traditional media is being ignored.

RANT: Isn’t this like slavery or indentured servitude?

 JPMorgan Chase ‘requires its tech workers give 6 months’ notice before they quit’
By Ariel Zilber — March 3, 2023 12:08pm Updated

*** begin quote ***

A veteran JPMorgan Chase banker fumed over the financial giant’s policy requiring staffers to give six months’ notice before being allowed to leave for another job.

The Wall Street worker, who claims to earn around $400,000 annually in total compensation after accumulating 15 years of experience, griped that the lengthy notice period likely means a lucrative job offer from another company will be rescinded.

Taking to the social media platform Blind — which allows career professionals anonymity so that they can freely post without concern about retribution from their bosses — the worker in the e-trade division lamented over the policy.

*** end quote ***

Seems like this is a form of slavery.  Even if a well compensated form of it.  I can understand wanting to protect your business but it’s a fact of life that every night your most important asset walks out the door.  

A six month notice requirement is different IMHO than a noncompete clause.  One “indentures” you; the other just limits where you can go.

I would assume that if one litigated this, the courts would see it as slavery. 

Of course, that assumes you can get “justice” in a Gooferment court, when Big Business owns so many politicians and bureaucrats.

Argh!

Shannon Bream fired from first job by ‘man who said I was worst person he’d seen on TV’

Shannon Bream, who has been tapped by the Fox News Channel to moderate its flagship Sunday morning political talk show, said that she was fired from her first job in television by a man “who told me I was the worst person he’d ever seen on TV.”

*** and ***

There is always room for improvement, and believe me I needed it.”

Bream, a devout Christian and graduate of the evangelical Liberty University, tweeted: “I got a healthy serving of humility, and learned that God often allows us to walk through valleys – for our own good.”

“That was also true when I spent years in chronic pain and was ultimately diagnosed with a genetic condition that has no cure.”

In 2018, Bream revealed that she suffers from excruciating eye pain caused by epithelial basement membrane dystrophy, which is an incurable genetic disorder of the eye.

The painful condition causes the surface cells of the eye to adhere to the eyelids.

Bream says that her career obstacles and health challenges have only served to better her.

I think this says volumes about this woman’s achievements
