I voted. I didn't OK this.
ReplyDeleteA majority of shareholders, to be more specific.
ReplyDeleteI dump my Gannett shares as soon as I get them, so I don't vote. It's tempting, but I don't want to hold onto lousy stock just for the pleasure of voting against these dimwits.
ReplyDeleteJim, I'd be willing to bet that the correct phasing would be "a majority of generally institutional shareholders..." I doubt that many individual shareholders were in favor of the existing compensation model.
ReplyDeleteInstitutional investors couldn't careless what Dubow's or any other top executives pay structure is....Dubow and Co. do a terrible job but there pay is not out of line with any major public corporation, thus its not even on anyone's radar. Why don't people understand this???
ReplyDeleteThe majority has spoken.
ReplyDeleteWho were the other choices????? NONE. The same corrupt, unethical, immoral choices to vote. I decided not to vote because, well, there were no other options Craig Dubow and co. OR ??? a rock? I would have voted for the rock. Any CEO who gets 9.45 million in his benefits package, yet others who are barely surviving and are asked to take a pay-cut? You gotta be kidding me. FIRE THEM ALL including th B.O.D.!
ReplyDeleteBoooooooooooo Hiss. One more year of greed incompetence and no real planning for the digital world and long term future of the company. Ice berg ahead!!!!
