"Chief Executive John Lechleiter requested that he receive no increase in base salary and bonus targets for 2012, the third consecutive year he has made such a request, citing business challenges. The board committee granted the request."

The board granted the request??? The board should have told the CEO he will not be getting an increase, not the other way around.

I suspect LLY will be bought within the next 2 years. I dont see profits growing and the maximization of shareholder value in my mind points to this conclusion.

I hope I am wrong and wish LLY and its employees well. Some things taken in a longer term perspective seem obvious.

Well, such is no surprise. Worker compensation has been declining in real terms for years now, so this is just a continuation of the trend.
