It's great to be an executive

I knew executives made lots of money, but generally I thought they deserved since I assumed that they only got rewarded if their business did well.

Turns out at least in one case that's not necessarily true. MSFTextrememakerover has a great post on Microsoft's $6M+ (Per Year) Man - Robbie Bach. I had no idea he was making that much money. He's a cool, smart, charismatic guy and all, but come on... does he have any business that makes money? Oh right - MS Hardware, Mac Business Unit, and Windows Embedded, the three units he's not investing in. Nice.

I wonder how I get his job?

Reading news about Microsoft just depresses me. I'm just glad I'm out of there. Phew.
