When C level executives agree to take ALL of their pay in the form of stock options, not RSU’s or Performance Units, they we can say they are actually acting in the shareholders best interest. The fact that they are not shows where their interest lies and it’s obvious that it’s not the shareholders.
As for the board, they are truly incompetent hiring this guy but they were desperate as he was the 15th guy that took their offer after the lucky 14 saw was a train wreck of a company was waiting in the run-away wagon.
Amazing that Stumpf was able to mask these issues for as long as he did. I regret not selling out at 60.
