Pay for Performance 2

This just gets more surreal (emphasis added):

AIG, which has taken taxpayer funded bailouts totaling $173 billion, has also budgeted $57 million in “retention” pay for employees who will be dismissed, according to a March 2 filing to the Securities and Exchange Commission.

    According to Olbermann last night, they paid “retention” bonuses to employees WHO NO LONGER WORKED FOR AIG.

    If that’s not enough to anger people, I really don’t know what would do it.

Some sites that I link to may try to track you, but that's between you and them, not you and me.

I do collect statistics, but I use a simple stand-alone Wordpress plugin, not third-party services such as Google Analitics over which I have no control.

Finally, this is website is a hobby. It's a hobby in which I am deeply invested, about which I care deeply, and which has enabled me to learn a lot about computers and computing, but it is still ultimately an avocation, not a vocation; it is certainly not a money-making enterprise (unless you click the "Donate" button--go ahead, you can be the first!).

I appreciate your visiting this site, and I desire not to violate your trust.
