wagoner

So far as an example from the automotive industry, look at Rick Wagoner from General Motors.

It's really a historic overview told from the perspective of the ultimate band wagoner...a TechCrunch blogger.

If GM offers too little, Wagoner is free to take a higher paying job elsewhere.

If Wagoner could increase profits by $2.78/vehicle more than the next best option for CEO, his pay is well worth it.

When President Obama privately asked Rick Wagoner to resign from GM, do you think that spared him from embarrassment or feeling bullied?

There was absolutely no need for Rick Wagoner to have to resign, but the Obama administration needed a blood sacrifice to sell a bailout.

Regarding executive compensation, GM CEO Rich Wagoner (who was ousted by the way) earned 1.5M in 2007, and will receive over 20M in pension by leaving GM.

McGirt, 71, has served more than two decades in prison after being convicted in 1997 in Wagoner County in eastern Oklahoma of rape, lewd molestation and forcible sodomy of a 4-year-old girl.

We're really hellbent on making anything but the new highway to the new Wal-Mart and $60 Starbucks dinner (paid over time of course) for the kids on the way to soccer practice in the Jeep Wagoner illegal.

The other problem is you get band-wagoner jumping on intentional misinformation to co-opt the catastrophe as a here and now prediction of how dire climate change is when it has negligible to any relation to the environmental damage happening.

I was essentially “retired.” But GM’s enveloping crisis and my friendship with Wagoner would bring me out.

Since you as the investor would be adding information to the market ("I'm not an index fund band-wagoner, I understand buy-and-hold and I will practice what I preach") you would be rewarded with better returns in exchange for signaling your intentions and acting as a cushion when everyone else is panicking.

Regarding 3), Wagoner's comp was cut from $14.9M to $3M as a result of his failure.

Wagoner [the head of GM] seemed to believe that by not admitting GM might declare bankruptcy, he could somehow keep it from happening.

If GM can find someone cheaper, they are free to reject Wagoner.
