Dell looks for huge cuts, Michael Dell keeps his salary

Good article..

Thats typical of our new leaders.

The new leader asks you to do the things that they wouldnt do themselves.

The old leader led by example and wouldnt dream of asking you to do something that they wouldnt do themselves.

Makes you wonder what our schools and universities are teaching our new leaders.

Keep in mind that Michael and Susan pretty much send his salary to support education and health around the world through the Michael and Susan Dell Foundation.

Don't ask what the company can do for you, but what you can do for the company.

Very JFK, very communist party.

Mikie Dell should be ashamed of himself, I guess an over abundance of money really does shrink the mind....if he is unable to live on a paultry salary like some of his employees he should be "Put Out to Pasture"

I will have you know that Mr. Dell is holding his money so Barack Obama can redistribute it for him. Man, the guy tries to do his part and you jump all over him.

Remember that Andrew Carnegie built thousands of libraries but didn't pay his employees enough money so that they could actually take time out to read the books. CEOs who give the money away should be closely scrutinized. They profess to care oh so much about distant lands and far off causes but methinks it may be their own reputations they care about the most. And what was that he said about Apple computer a couple of years ago? Shut it down and return the money?

When I first started in business in the 1970's with an insurance company, they didn't believe in debt and every week the people who turned 100 had their pictures taken with the check for the amount of their life insurance from the company. I remember the head of accounting going downstairs to take the receipts of the kiosk that the company operated at street level to invest the proceeds overnight. Now, insurance companies give
bonuses to the workers who refuse claims that the bean counters who now run the show determine to be good workers. When I went to college I remember that the Sears credit card I had paid on for 4 years refused to allow me to buy 4 needed tires because it would go over the credit limit of $200 that I had. What happened is that the graduate schools became MBA issuerers without anybody knowing how the company in question worked and full of people who specialized in credit such as the reknowned credit default swap. My oh my!!!!

Another poorly written and researched article by one of the worst bloggers ever. The amounts awarded to Dell are in MILLION not BILLION. In fact, if he'd bothered to read the proxy he would see that Dell's salary is under $1M. Still alot of money but not much compared to Financial guys receiving 10's of millions in buyouts for 2 months work. His compensation is half of what it was the previous year. Dell still has $8 BILLION in cash. With a stock price of $11 most of these stock options are useless.
