IMO, Merck must surely require that its upper level employees, especially management, be paid according to a merit based compensation system. If an employee does not produce, he either does not get a raise or is terminated.
As you know, DNAG has no such system, but instead a very lucrative program set up by Frudakis which essentially guarantees lavish salaries and bonuses that are automatically annually renewable, regardless of performance. None of the happy managers, save the possibility of Gabriel's wife, have been fired even though the destruction of shareholder value has been astonishing, particularly since Gabriel and his wife took over the management reins. In fact, the first r/s and a subpenny pps have been the higlights of Gabriel's tenure.
I have absolutely no idea why Gomez would elect to leave Merck and join DNAG, but you have raised a very interesting question for serious consideration by the shareholders.
