210,000,000 reasons to get fired…

January 4th, 2007

Firstly, let me state I am a great believer in our capitalist system. It’s the best system around as long as it is moderated to control the worst excesses.

Did I say control the worst excesses? How about this: the CEO of Home Depot in the US, Robert Nardelli got fired after growing the company only 1% over five years and severely damaging the brand by alienating customers, employees and investors.

According to my information he got US $210,000,000 to leave…you don’t have to be a Home Depot employee to get riled up about that.
