    Keep 'em coming, Rachael! The boycott by these school-boys who must have some sort of alternate lifestyle attachment for your predecesor (who has already posted here to imply he will return) have had NO EFFECT, I'm sure, on your readership.

    I think your coverage is excellent and that you write quite well...

    IHI: Medical Devices Make a Momentum Comeback [view article]
    If you want to work for a company that will F you over, choose Covidien! A true nightmare company!

    The imaging devision is terrible! There is not a person in the company not out looking for a new job. They raised the quotas on the sales force during the year twice. Once they raised it 4 months before the FDA approval for the generic heart agent. Now they've been delayed by the FDA for at least two months. Guess what? They have elected not to adjust the quotas. Every sales person in the entire company is so mad! I worked for them for over twenty years. It used to be a great job. Now it is below entry level medical sales. Most reps are in the 60-80 K range including bonus which is non-existent. They lie and tell you you'll make 125-200. It's all lies. It's the last place anyone in medical sales should consider.

    The executives, by the way, are making money hand over fist. The stock is going through the roof because wall street sees great margins and low cost of doing business. They are raping their sales force. Most of my friends have not had a bonus in more than 8 months. They assured everyone quotas will be re-evaluated at the end of the fiscal year. They know they blew it but are unwilling to fix it. It's all about wall street and the stock. They assured the sales people they would be treated fairly months from now whenever they get around to it. Guess they are too busy spending all their bonus $$$$ as they rape the sales force.

    If a recruiter calls you about covidien, run don't walk!

    its all a self serving scam.the new word should be "suckerholder&quo... stockholder.the ceo's & bod's are just selfserving & nobody mentions the suckerholder in the boardroom. pay should only be by dividend fro shares bought by management & bod's & no options.that would straighten things out real quick.utopia?

    Jackooo...you are exactly correct. The companies send out proxies, etc., as a "feel good" exercise, not something that will result in any change of directors, management, etc. The mutual funds are not doing their jobs when they simply go along to get along with extreme compensation packages being set up by compensation committees. Any time a compny is losing money badly, but gives top executives major pay raises, something is wrong inside the management of the companies. Reply

    Board and Executive Compensation in S&P 500 [view article]
    Years ago when it became so obvious to me that boards of directors were nothing more than good old boys clubs, rubber stamps for corporate executives and every bit as greedy, I began to look in the proxy for the identities of the Compensation Committee. Every proxy I have voted since I have withheld my vote for those committee members and have encouraged others to do the same. May never have an affect but at least its something I can do to express my dissatisfaction... Reply

    I have both T and CMCSA. I notice their executive teams are paid the most. That's a shame from these two losers.
    The SEC can make up lots more rules & I can vote against the board but unless the mutual fund companies vote their shares against the boards, we individual share holders might as well forget proxy voting.
    I cannot understand why the funds don't take the reigns? It is their clients that are losing money. It is true that most of the clients are dumb and lazy regarding financial savy but gezz. You would think the funds would do something, no??
