I think what some don't get

Let's talk about relevancy and what Tony Chung, "Rick" Salas, and Bruce Bromide do for what they "get," shall we ? (From the most recent 10K):

Tony Chung, 2013
Salary $ 185,000
Bonus $ 50,154 (Haha! "Bonus"???)
Option Awards$ 72,956

Total Compensation $ 308,110

Ricardo Salas, 2013
Salary $ 240,000
Bonus $ 63,206
Option Awards $ 74,712

Total Compensation $ 377,918

Bruce Bromage, 2013
Salary $ 240,000
Bonus $ 63,206
Option Awards $ 127,347

Total Compensation $ 430,553

That is 1.1 MILLION for what????

Wait, I know for "what?"...for Chung to show up 20 minutes late to the ASHM the year before wearing jeans and a club shirt while looking like he just rolled out of bed and into the office (hmmm, yes, the meeting can't start if the recording secretary isn't there no matter how useless he may actually be)...to hear Salas look like a deer in headlights when asked about LQMT golf...and to see Bromide run out faster than fast with a mumbled answer when asked about testing dates for the canards...BUT, at least Tony and Rick wore suits this year as they held each other's hands sitting next to each other (in all honesty, that was a STELLAR job Ton Loc did reading out the results of voting - very impressive, indeed - and ON TIME!!!)...AND at least Bromide stayed for the talks by Steipp, Ogawa and Hauck, but did pretty much disappear to shareholders...and what a shame because I'm sure he had much to add knowing he's done such a bang-up job as Head of "Business Development and Operations" that they had to bring on Paul Hauck to do his job and carry not one, but TWO, salaries for the same function...while the first thing he says to Hauck is, "Welcome aboard, buddy, but we're screwed on cost"...funny that the only ones in that photo for the knives were Ogawa and Hauck...haha...funny...
