Grubman Resigns, Gets Massive Severance

from the wait-just-a-second... dept

Jack Grubman, who is facing all sorts of scrutiny for his stock analysis over the past few years (with particular focus on his chummy relationship with Worldcom) was forced to resign. The more interesting part of the story, however, which isn't getting as much attention (at this point) is the fact that this guy who misled investors for the last few years will walk away with $32.2 million in severance pay (on top of the many millions he's made all along). Not many people get fired and handed a check for $32.2 million.

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.

–The Techdirt Team

    NYT mentioned this on 18 Aug

    Great headline: A Star Analyst Exits Loudly. Others Hide Backstage. Great quote: "If investors need any more evidence that many folks in high places on Wall Street still don't get it and may never, they need read no further than Mr. Grubman's resignation letter. It contains just one parenthetical reference to his woeful record in stockpicking, which was his job to get right, not wrong. The rest of the letter was a whinefest worthy of a 6-year-old."
