Making Money The Old Fashioned Way
from the suckering-people dept
An article at News.com tells wonderful stories about old economy execs who made lots and lots of money by moving to new economy companies even when they were complete failures. Apparently, these old economy execs know a thing or two about negotiating a new job position. They received huge signing bonuses, loans, and stock options that were guaranteed to let them do well whether or not the company ended up dead.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
