Don Used this analogy...<br> <br> (quote)Let's say you were hired by a company to stop the money hemorrhage that is threatening the company. Let's further say that as part of your compensation you are to get 0.05% of any money that you save the company. So you work your tail off and save the company 50 billion dollars out of a projected 75 billion dollar loss. That means that you get $25 million dollars for saving the company 50 billion. 5/100 of a percent doesn't sound like much until you start talking real money, does it?(End Quote)<br> <br> One problem with that. Didn't we all slam President Obama for his claim to "Save" 3 million jobs? How do you prove that YOU saved the company from loosing even more money that it did? How do you prove that you "Saved" it in a way which is beneficial to the company?<br> <br> It's hard enough to find the causes that lead to a profit, but to prove what prevented even greater losses is impossible and any board member who votes to approve a contract which supplies a bonus based on money "saved" deserves a nice jail stint for breach of fiduciary trust.
