One last point about management comp

Let’s say any officer or director had to leave IDCC tomorrow, but it was clear to the market that the reason was personal, not related to the company.
Is there anyone who’s departure would have an adverse affect on the stock price? Anyone have any candidates? I wouldn’t sell my shares if any of the non-technical personal left under those circumstances, nor would I worry about their production being covered. Is there anyone in management who could not be adequately replaced with the current compensation package? Yes, I remember MG. Was the problem the lack of candidates? If so, this is a much better market for the employer. Was it current management unwillingness to upset the status quo? If that’s the problem, then I see that as a weakness in management.

If you can’t come up with an positive answer to the above, think real hard about why we need to give management everything they want.
