If those CEO's had any confidence in the current administration, they wouldn't be laying off people and would be investing their money. As long as this anti-business administration keeps threatening big business, this trend will continue.
Both big business and small business are the key to economic growth and the creation of jobs in this country, and as long as the administration threatens to punish them with higher taxes and increased costs for employee health benefits, we will never recover from this economic downturn. See FDR for details.

BS this behavior has been common long before 2008.

Wait. So is it that CEOs don't have any confidence in the administration running the nation? Or is it that investors don't have any confidence in the CEOs running the businesses? Because, let's face it, CEOs and Wall Street haven't been the most deserving of the trust of investors these past few years.

They were going to "rake in" those millions anyway if the company did well, these lay offs save the company and thus SAVE jobs.
When Hewlett-Packard’s Chief Executive Mark Hurd resigned last month he received something few regular workers see when they quit their jobs under a cloud: A massive payout.
Turns out Hurd is far from the only top executive to be rewarded with a rich package despite a management performance that could be considered less than optimal — especially by rank-and-file workers.
So you'd rather them keep around inefficient workers? That's not how you run a major corporation. Businesses hire and fire in cycles. This is nothing new.
What's new is the impact of the cycles, much of which you can base on insecurity of this administration.
not the point of my post. they should not recieve those millions when they are firing people.
liblady said:of course not.....but ceos didn't used to make 50 times what the average employee makes, and salaries and bonuses have become completely out of control. the ceo of a company that loses money should be penalized, imo.
this kind of greed is what makes everyday workers snap. the board members taking care of each other, a good old boys club. **** em. they run a business into the ground, then get PAID for it.

The corporate system is unaccountable, corrupting, and beneficial only to those who have invested in it.
