Mr. Icahn,
I just read your opinion entitled 'Corporate Hell-Raiser' in the WSJ and I am ELATED that someone of your stature is FINALLY speaking up! I am from the deep south--Houston, TX-- and was raised with values that you are accountable for your actions.
I have had MUCH difficulty in sending these CEOs off with millions of dollars rewarding them for running a company in the ground! It just infuriates me!
I am a first line manager at a Swiss pharmaceutical company and if I don't perform, I will be replaced. Isn't that the way it SHOULD be? If I can't do my job, I need to go find a job a CAN do...what makes me diffeent from these CEOs?
Shareholders are the ones left holding the EMPTY bag! Thanks for your strong voice that reasonates with us 'little people!'
