Kill All the CEO's . . .

. . . And Kill Them Tonight!

Didja hear? Hewlett-Packard just made a move to get profitable . Yeah, HP's gonna let go almost 15,000 workers, average joes and janes, mostly, and they're gonna save 1.9 billion doing it. Yep, changes needed to be made.

See, Hewlett-Packard just hired a new head-man--- appropiately named, you see, cause of all the heads he's lopping off--- a fella by the name of Mark V. Hurd. I think one reason he needed to cut off so many heads is to somehow come up with the money to pay him his bloated salary: Hurd's getting a damn lucrative compensation package: in the first four years of his contract, he will receive at least $18.8 million in pay and bonuses -- and he could get as much as $39.2 million if he meets performance targets. Ah, a cool 40 million over four years. Geez, you'd think this guy was a premium left-handed pitcher, making that kinda dough.

Thing I wonder, though, is when the day's gonna come when people decide they've finally had enough. Cut my head off? I don't think so. I'm gonna cut off YOURS. Attack the executive suite like the villagers going after Frankenstein's monster, right, with pitchforks and torches.

Ah, to dream a little dream.

Nice post. I like the Frankenstein imagery.

There will come a day of reckoning, but how bad will things have to get before change occurs?

Methinks the peasants are still too shhep-like...
