Progress: GCI stock on Dubow's third anniversary

[This is progress? Full stock comparison chart, here]

Based on today's quarterly earnings alone, the board of directors should put CEO Craig Dubow on a performance improvement plan -- instead of having rewarded him with a $1.75 million bonus. Yesterday marked the third anniversary of his ascent to CEO. Performance of Gannett, competitors, and the S&P-500 index since then:
Just how low must GCI go before the board lets him go?

  1. Baseball managers get fired faster with a performance that's a lot better than this. So do rank-and-file Gannett employees. Craig has no business spending another day running this team.

  2. And he doesn't deserve a nice parachute (or pillow) on his way out the door, either. His $1.75 million bonus this year was generous (and offensive) enough as it is.

  3. Throw the "captain" over the sinking ship!!!!! He will go eventually with alot of sacrificed employee's and stock money! Crooked system....Maybe he should be getting "Merit Pay" like "gannett" pushes on it's employee's?!

  6. It's probably time for a corporate raider to sieze the company, cut 20,000 jobs, sell off its assets, then retire to Hamilton, Bermuda.

    Or, like some have said, have Rupert take it over. (Oh, I have friends who worked for Ruppy and hated every minute of it).
