    Hey, the corporate jet’s the last to go.

    It’s getting to look a lot like Christmas, cause all the ceo’s look and act like the Grinch.

    People are expendable, perks are hard to come by.

    How long do you have to work for Duke before you decide to keep a “insurance record”? Just saying.

    ah, it’s such a short step from double-entry bookkeeping to double-book entrykeeping. Curse those fourteenth-century Florentines for inventing “business as we know it”!

    Duke can afford to be generous with the firm’s Lear.

    Doesn’t Duke work for some K Street lobbyist outfit? You know things are bad when even the lobbyists are cutting back.

    I found out from the news that those CEOs’ salaries cut big ones for Auto Industries and give to those employees? Who did cut the CEOs’ salaries? I bet those CEOs would be gulped and swallowed their prides down to their stomaches for cutting their salaries! Too bad! And quit using the fancy jets to fly everyday!

    Mustang - when the company pays the CEO $14 million a year, that works out to around $54,000 per 8-hour day, or almost $7,000 per hour.

    Consider if the CEO has to travel. Showing up at the airport 2 hours early to clear security, sitting through a 4-hour flight delay, and taking 2 hours to get out of the airport at the other end leaves the company paying $54,000 for the CEO’s time. It’s probably cheaper to fly the company jet, especially if you’re carrying the 5 or 6 highest paid executives.

    Of course, all that math depends on the CEO getting $14,000,000 per year to bankrupt a car company… ;)

    That must be a lot of the salaries the CEOs earn. I just heard that the news was told that the CEOs had to cut their salaries. I was surprised.
