Sinking ship pays $1 million to stay afloat!!!

I just read in Publishers Weekly that new Borders CEO Ron Marshall will get $1 million base salary plus signing bonus for the first of his three year contract. Then, for the next two years he only gets $750,000. Gee, I'm definitely on the wrong end of publishing.

Yeah, especially since the captain of the Titanic didn't get a bonus like that for driving his ship to the bottom. (I'm reminded of the former CEO of Home Depot, who received close to a quarter-billion dollars after getting fired for crippling Home Depot. I really wish I could make that kind of money for being that incompetent.)

Hell, I couldn't even kill off Science Fiction Eye on my own. I guess I'm an underachiever, even for an incompetent.
