Quick question: if you had been found to have been pilfering money from the company that employs you as well as falsifying documents to cover this act up: what would you expect from your bosses?

Apparently if you’re one of the uber-rich negotiating a $100 million dollar contract with HP you get an eye popping “a $12.2 million severance payment and nearly 350,000 shares of HP stock worth about $16 million at Friday’s closing price. The company also extended the deadline for exercising options to buy up to 775,000 HP shares.” (Source: Disgraced HP CEO to get nearly $28 million, Brattleboro Reformer, 08/07/10)

Poor guy, and all us comminists wanna bring his taxes up a bit.
