If they don't have any concrete achievements to put before the shareholders at the SHM, it would be interesting to guess what they do instead.

"Remember" how the ancients would slaughter a few chickens or goats to appease the Gods when they were angry? If they don't have anything revenue bearing to show, they might well start sacrificing each other to keep the shareholders at bay.

Such as coming in with an austerity program and some firings as part of a package of waste cutting initiatives to keep from getting eaten alive by the attendees. The way a real corporation -- can you say General Motors? -- would do it.

Maybe FF could suggest it at the next management meeting. I'm sure that in his 6 distinguished months at junior college he absorbed all that could be learned from the careers of top managers like Sloan at GM. smile

Let's help them along with it. Everyone make it clear that unless there is dramatic revenue increase or major cost cutting, we aren't going to take it any more.

Enough of this "the shareholders are a cult" mentality.
