It's not the same company D--k built folks. It's not about Sidney, it's business:
Tommy will take $8.1 Million
Scott will take $3.4 Million
Baker will take $2.6 Million
Ralph will take $3.4 Million
Copeland will take $3.2 Million
Linneman will take $3.6 Million
And the last two were asked to leave and become consultants months ago. I guess we know who's going to have an easy landing.
No kidding on Baldwin. The famous wall Mart exec. This is such a shame. They lied, passed thier own pockets and walk away when they were the leaders responsible. Unbelievable. Makes everyone extremely angry
Ok. Who are the wives who own businesses? I can only think of one.
Baldwin and Means will get the same as the other EVPs. Cabela's is only legally obligated to report the top six to the SEC. Baldwin and Means are just as responsible for the demise of Cabela's as the other millionaires. It's sad that those that are responsible for taking a great company and running it into the ground are the ones that will benefit from the sale. The people who followed the directions of the millionaires are the ones that will be left holding the empty bag while the millionaires laugh all the way to their bank far from Sidney.
I noticed that as well - EVPs Doug Means & Charles Baldwin are not included in the million dollar giveaway! That would be a shame because having known and worked directly with them I would say they were two of the best of the entire lot!
I would love to know the whole store here.....
It turns out there are winners in Cabela's failure to succeed! Way to go Tommy Millner & the EVP team - enjoy your millions while Outfitters struggle to make ends meet!
But it doesn't end there: Then comes 18 months of paid health and dental insurance for all of the top six execs for 18 months — worth about $31,000 for each, according to the filing. Each exec also qualifies for two years of life and disability insurance, at a cost of about $1,500 apiece.
The final piece is some financial engineering, the “accelerated value” of stock options, restricted stock and performance-based stock awards due the executives — worth at least hundreds of thousands to each executive, sometimes much more.
Not that I would EVER want such an executive position ANYWHERE, but man its so strange to me how the 1%'ers live AND make that living.
What businesses are they? I for one will boycott them!
Obviously the wives who own businesses in Sidney do not need the money after this news story. Boycott those business. When will people of this town wake up - if a friend or family member lied to you repeatedly you would distance yourself from them.
And where is Doug?
Anyone else notice that Charles Baldwin was omitted? Not just from the article. From the SEC filing. There is a story there. OWH... Go find it. Why would a guy walk away from millions of dollars? And what's interesting... The good ol' home town boys, Castner and Baker, take the money and run, but the Arkansas guy doesn't? Wtf?
Holy crap!
It's simply robbery and the two who were protected from being fired / absolutely shameful. This is why the country is fed up and we are too. Crash and burn
