Former CMGI Suing for Stock
from the oh-get-over-it dept
Neil Braun, who CMGI brought on to help create and build their iCast company, and was later fired, is now suing CMGI for stock options he says are owed to him. I'm not sure what the terms of the deal were, but it is pretty standard that these sorts of things vest over time, and if he got fired, than there's a good chance that he shouldn't be getting options. Isn't it a great world when people expect to be paid millions for doing a bad job?
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.

A contract is a divorce document. If everying goes the way it should, there is no need ofr the contract. If they don't go well, then a court is the final way the contract is intereperated.
Odds are this gent won't get much...most of the money will go to the lawyer(s),
