#executives

Are executives making stupid comments and decisions? Look no further than their bonus KPIs. They will do asinine things to game the KPIs and get their bonus. Disgusting.

According to Humana's regulatory proxy filings submitted to the SEC, top executive compensation is primarily driven by performance-based stock awards and incentives.
For the most recent fiscal year (2025), here is how much each of Humana's top executives earned in total annual compensation:

2025 Top Executive Compensation

• Celeste M. Mellet (Chief Financial Officer): $18.92 million total compensation. This included a $1.11 million base salary, a $6 million signing bonus, and $10.65 million in equity awards.
• James A. Rechtin (President & Chief Executive Officer): $18.76 million total compensation. This consisted of a $1.35 million base salary, $13.87 million in stock awards, and $3.03 million in cash incentive pay.
• Michelle A. O'Hara (Chief Human Resources Officer): $8.94 million total compensation. This included a $715,385 base salary, a $2.5 million bonus, and $4.86 million in stock awards.
• Susan M. Diamond (Former Chief Financial Officer): $2.4 million total compensation during her remaining transition tenure with the company.

Breakdown of a Typical Executive Pay Package
Executive packages at Humana Inc. generally follow a rigid, performance-linked structure:

1. Base Salary: Typically ranges from $700,000 to $1.35 million. This accounts for less than 10% of their ultimate take-home pay.
2. Equity and Stock Awards: The vast majority of compensation (often 70% to 90%) is paid out in stock and option awards tied directly to shareholder value.
3. Non-Equity Incentive Plan: Annual performance bonuses determined by specific metrics like Adjusted EPS and Medicare Advantage membership growth.

What would you say...you DO here?

Was looking at the expectations of leaders and am looking forward to being inspired and motivated by our executives at the upcoming employee forum! Anyone know the date and time?

We have to make clear that when the boot of the assessment process is on your neck, it’s been laced by the executives.

The SVP in charge of BH, Product and Dental was just let go. This follows multiple senior leaders in Product and Dental being pushed out earlier this year. Is E.B.’s departure a sign of the next big wave of bloodshed? (Not that I think she was a big loss.)

But don't be carried away and start asking for any salary hikes. The guy will work on salary increases and perks for the exec's who are way underpaid compared to what they are delivering for the company.

Sarah needs to step down. That’s it, that’s the post.

Seriously, how many VPs does one company need?

At Omnicell, the org chart sometimes feels less like a lean healthcare technology company and more like a VP convention with an occasional product roadmap thrown in.

You have to wonder:

👉 What does everyone actually do all day?
👉 How many “strategic alignment” meetings or “workshops” can one organization possibly have?
👉 And how many VPs does it take to schedule another meeting with the other VPs?

Then there are titles that make you stop and wonder whether the role exists because the company genuinely needs it—or because somebody needed another box on the organizational chart.

And yes… VP of Internal Communications.

That one might actually be justified. Someone has to spend all day figuring out how to turn:

“We’re eliminating your position”

into

“We’re strategically realigning our workforce to unlock future opportunities.” 😂

Maybe the real innovation at Omnicell isn’t automation.

It’s automating the creation of executive titles.

How many VPs are too many?

Asking for the shareholders. 👀

I’m a former Jones associate who was laid off through a VSP. I was at West County Mall Saturday with a friend who also used to work for Jones, but left long before the current nonsense. After we parted ways, she stopped at Michael’s and ran into Penny, then shared it in our group chat.

My first thought? Damn, I wish I’d gone with her. I would’ve loved the opportunity to introduce myself as one of the many associates she helped send packing over the past few years. 😂 Especially since she seems to have perfected the art of disappearing into her “secret garden” on the 10th floor of the West Tower and rarely showing her face around campus.

Missed opportunity, I suppose. 😂

Remember when Srini gave you that line of bullsh-t, when in reality he’s just here to try to complete a merger.

What has managers who manage their own calendars, senior managers who manage to avoid actual work, and directors whose only direction is "let's circle back"? Executives who couldn't execute a simple Google search.

Seriously, managers with no employees, senior managers with zero understanding of management, directors who just direct the flow of bullsh-t that comes out of their own mouths and "Executives" that preach AI because they themselves cant think critically?

The answer? A complete mystery!

Then it's only because you couldn't ever get a similar type of role at another company, right? I'm genuinely trying to think if there is any other reason. Seems like if you were able you would be long gone by now...

Stop slamming Mike. Stop prejudging Takis. They both got sc--wed. Neither of them would have taken the job if the knew that Frank built a house of cards. He left when the runway was running out. So he hired fall guys. Mike brought humanity to this company. But you can’t fix fraudulent earnings. Mike obviously supported Takis and made him co-president. Mike designed the strategy for a turn around which Takis upheld on the earnings call. Stop pitting and comparing Mike against Takis. The blame lies with Frank. The solution is to work together and deliver what this company is capable of.

I have never had so much anger in my life. Been through a few rodeos so not a newbie. Never seen it this bad. I hate each and every executive in this clown car and will leave as soon as I can. I can’t be the only one which is scary. Not a good thing if you are working with people barely holding in their rage.

Poor baby....

How many workers jobs had to die for this all time high stock price? The motive behind every decision the MC makes is this number in order to pad the stock options they are given.

A lot of executives VP, SVPs are waiting for their stock to vest. They have no incentives to help the field people with any of the problems, either it is Score, Support, Product issues. We are selling because of relationship and not because of any capabilities.

A lot of these oldies are rusted and need to get kicked out starting with Jeff Clarke. He is a Plague.

Why did the CFO depart abruptly?

All the current executives can do is cut cut cut. Just look at the disasters that are the trading group and LCS.

With so many layers of management, how do you even define an executive? Does “executive” refer to anyone reporting directly to a VP or higher ?

New CEO is going to be on board within the next 60 days, ole Nic's hand picked boot li---rs days are numbered. What's your guess the first boot li---r to get papers?

No one has seen corporate officers out in public or at work centers. Are they hiding in their corporate refugees and private equity firm gated enclaves? They obviously recognize outside their fawning and servile sycophants they are loathed and despised by employees and customers. It is obvious they are going to extreme measures to conceal their whereabouts. We have to face our coworkers and customers everyday. Why do we continue to tolerate cowardly leaders, who have no skin in the game and steal all our profits?

Do execs have similar ranking process as the rest of us?

If so, do they have similar levels of MLRP?

Why would current businesses hire failed execs from companies
Scale and scope or is it for contacts to bring business deals from companies they were fired from

Ex-Citigroup managing director sentenced to 30 years in prison for s-x crimes

Who remembers that?! From January 2025, back when the stock was over $200.

https://investors.fiserv.com/news-releases/news-release-details/tabitha-brown-becomes-first-chief-empowerment-officer-clover

Shannon Watkins, what was she thinking? And what was Frank B thinking when he hired Watkins?! (Probably, "I can't wait to get out of here and sell everything.")

She came off as a complete mo--n at the all-hands this morning. WTF is she tasked with?

Since the EU gave approval for the merger and the US petty states are getting restraining orders. To make the Ellison's bleed a little bit longer. Which is pointless as pretty much the Ellison's have a suit of lawyers. Ones that have gone to the highest courts.

Get ready for our upper MGMT (directors and above) to be getting AI memos and toupees mug shots. Trying to claw a clear pathway on the rungs on this ladder.

The deal is done. Merger approved. A bunch of bloodbaths coming soon near your next dynamic broadcast. Stop holding on.. on second thought. Join those in news who keep trying to inflict 60 minutes of pain. Maybe you can all hold hands and pray and move the show to Saturdays, instead of Sundays. If you get my reference.

Enjoy!

BP ex-chair Manifold planned to remove Director Amanda Blanc

https://www.marketscreener.com/news/bp-ex-chair-manifold-planned-to-remove-director-amanda-blanc-ce7f51dcd889f52d

Recently attended an Agency travel trip with the top SF agents in the company. The common feedback shared with Chairman’s Council and other executives during the trips sessions was agents have lost TRUST with SF senior leadership. Wow….That speaks volumes for the >20k agents selling and servicing SF products.

You should be thinking like an executive saying to yourself how much can I strip out of this company while contributing as little as possible.

The answer is: this TRP MC member recently joined the board of another public company.

Does anyone know how much we spend on FIFA?

It is actually impacting sales?

I keep seeing executives posting about how great is was (as they attend all the events) but they never mention if it is actually helping sales.

I had the impression that Chris was offered the position of next CEO, understanding that to decline meant he walked himself out the door. I guess it counted as an "involuntary termination without cause," which is worth $11M in severance.

Barry’s $11.2 million severance package for the involuntary termination of his employment without cause from Solventum is subject to his continued compliance with restrictive covenants, the company said.

I want to know the opinion of the layoff board members here.

Execs frequently use political actions (incl. backstabbing) and complex organization systems.

Aggressive behavior and self-admiration also help these leaders.

I see that many executive leaders speak for long periods because they like their own voices.

This behavior is a part of self-admiration.

Hearing that our ELT had just returned from time away in Aspen together.

While we never see them here in Houston and never take meetings off the executive-only floors, they apparently need fresh mountain air to recover from the rigors of their hectic schedules entertaining on the private island, flying $60MM private jets to New York to speak to investors, and host happy hours with VIPs on the 14th floor.

Who will be the next CEO? If the board lets Khalaf stay until 65 or if they cut him, they need a successor, stat.
