    John Deere CEO, John C May, took $23 million in bonuses this year.

    He also laid off almost a thousand guys just in my town alone.

    Can we eat the rich yet?

    Been there, seen that. We were asked (a long time ago) to forego our Christmas bonus (which was part of our employment contract, so they could not just scrap it) because the company had problems and might get rid of some coworkers if we did not accept this. Later, we learned that this money was needed to finance a managers’ golden parachute.

    Well yeah, the first two yatchs were getting lonely. Did you ever stop to think of their feelings? Starving children in Africa weep at their plight.

    “I have costs.” statement is the response for everything, every year. It looks like these type of people come from the same template, read the same book about starting the business.
